School Uniform Campaign

We’re proud to partner with Harrisons School wear to offer a sustainable way to support families. You can donate pre-loved, good-quality school uniforms, which we then redistribute to families in need across our community—easing financial pressure and reducing clothing waste. Items must be in good condition.
