A SCHOOL uniform swap shop is opening in Stratford.
Stratford Town Trust and Bishopton Community Centre CIO are working in partnership to provide free school uniform as the cost-of-living crisis continues to affect many families.
The swap shop offers the chance to both donate or collect gently used school uniforms, shoes, PE kits, and bags for local primary and secondary school students — all completely free of charge.
The Swap Shop will run in both locations.
Community members are encouraged to drop off quality uniform donations between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday at Stratford Town Trust Community Hub, located at Venture House, Avenue Farm Industrial Estate. All donated items will then be made available for others to browse and take away on designated Fridays throughout August.
Bishopton Community Centre will also be collecting and distributing uniform on Mondays from 9am to 1pm.
Fran Nibbs Stratford Town Trust’s community hub manager said: “This initiative is all about sharing resources and helping one another. By donating outgrown school uniforms and collecting what’s needed, we can ease the financial burden on families and promote sustainability in our community.”
