Pre-loved school uniforms available again ahead of new school year

Stretford Community Hub who will be hosting a free pop-up uniform week from August 18 to 25.

Eligible parents can simply turn up at the Hub, based at Stretford Public Hall on Chester Road, to pick up uniforms and shoes.

The Hub will be working with Trafford Council as well as a number of local charities including Bridging the Gap as part of the project. 

Emma Finn, Community Hub Co-ordinator, who has been providing uniform support through the Hub for four years, said: 

"The cost of school uniforms is soaring and every summer we get lots of requests for help. The exchange scheme will help residents access affordable school uniform items.

"Last year we helped hundreds of families struggling to buy uniforms with help and this year we will do the same. Parents should also ask schools themselves what they can do to help before they break up for the summer."

A spokesperson for Trafford Council said: 

"Trafford Council is pleased to support this initiative, which helps residents access school uniform items ahead of the new school year. We thank our partners for their continued support."

Please drop off non logo primary uniform and high school blazers to the hall before 18 August. For more information, please email emma@stretfordpublichall.org.uk
