If you have unwanted school uniform that you’re not sure what to do with, please donate it to your child’s school base! We are especially looking for Year 11 leavers items and blazers of any size, but all items of uniform will be gratefully received and will benefit other students.
We also pass on some of these items to Smarter Uniforms who offer a marketplace for used uniforms for many schools across the city.
