Improving access to
affordable school uniform
A simple, school-based reuse project helping pupils access essential uniform items with dignity.
The cost of school uniform continues to rise, with the greatest pressure falling at the start of the school year.
Branded items such as blazers and PE kit are often the most expensive and hardest to source affordably.
The Challenge
Back to School is a simple reuse model:
Pupils donate good-quality uniform at the end of term, and families can access those items ahead of September through a straightforward, stigma-free process.
A Practical Solution
The 3 key items
Blazers
PE T-Shirt
