Sustainable school swap shop
June 8, 2023
The sustainable school swap shop is intended to help families manage the cost of new school uniforms by rehoming preloved uniforms as well as reducing the number of good quality clothing items that are unnecessarily discarded.
Annually, over 1.4 million school uniforms are thrown away as children outgrow their blazers, dresses and PE kits. The sustainable school swap shop aims to offer colleagues in our Trust an opportunity to donate their school uniforms, swap them for a bigger size or simply support a sustainable way of life by sourcing their uniforms from the swap shop.
Please consider donating to avoid waste and help some of our colleagues in this time of financial crisis
Donation points are available at:
- City: Old management block (ground floor)
- Sandwell: Trinity House entrance
- Rowley: Ask at reception
Colleagues wishing to donate to this scheme should ensure that all donations are in a clean and presentable condition. For further details please see sustainable school swap shop poster.
