School Uniform Support

During the summer, families can apply to our school uniform scheme, which provides brand new uniform and school supplies for their children. This support helps alleviate the financial burden of back-to-school expenses, ensuring that every child has the essentials they need to start the school year confidently.

What is School Uniform Support?

Every summer we run our School Uniform support programme to help families prepare for the
new school year. We provide children with everything they needed to start school with
confidence, including
new uniforms, shoes, backpacks, lunchboxes, stationery, swimwear,
and PE kits. Families tell us exactly what sizes and items they need and these are packed with care by our volunteers. Please note we can only support with uniform sizes age 3-4 up to age 15-16.

​

How do families get referred?

Families need to be referred by a professional or by one of our 17 partner schools. The partner schools send an email to all eligible families with their unique school code they must use on the application. The family then complete the School Uniform Support referral form themselves outlining what items and sizes they need for each child. The family will then be emailed a link to book a School Uniform Collection slot where their items will be packed and ready for them.

​

If the family is referred by a professional, the professional (who we call our "Referral Partner") must also be registered with us. Once they are registered, the Referral Partner will complete a School Uniform Support referral form. This form asks for the family's details including which sizes and items the family need. Once the form has been completed, they will be sent a link to book a School Uniform Collection slot where their items will be packed and ready for them. We recommend the Referral Partner forward the link to book the appointment directly to the family but the Referral Partner can attend on behalf of the family if the family will struggle to collect the items themselves.

​​

When can families be referred?

Referrals for our School Uniform Support open at the beginning of May and remain open until the end of May, or when we reach capacity - whichever happens first.​

​

How many times can a family be referred?

Families can be referred for our School Uniform Support each year if they are still in need.

​​​

Do you provide logoed items?

Unfortunately we do not provide logoed items or school specific uniform.​​

​

Can the family swap items?

As the items are purchased specifically for each family based on what they request on the referral form, please be sure of what sizes you need as items cannot be swapped.
