How to donate uniform

Local businesses and supermarkets can donate new stock too. Email us and we will arrange collection.
Uniform Swap and domestic abuse
Uniform Swap is part of Example Trust’s wider work with families. Leaving or recovering from domestic abuse can mean starting again with very little, and the cost of school uniform is one more worry.
Every item bought or donated through Uniform Swap helps families save money and supports Example Trust’s services for people affected by domestic abuse.
