Recycle outgrown school uniform,
coats and shoes with us
Please donate absolutely ANYTHING a child needs for school – uniform, coats, hats, gloves, scarves, PE kits, tights, shoes, trainers, football boots, pencil cases, maths sets … everything

It’s estimated that almost 700 tonnes of school uniform is worn by children in Kirklees schools every year with only around 50 tonnes coming to Uniform Exchange so far too much must still be going to landfill. Help us to keep ALL uniform out of Kirklees rubbish tips by donating yours.
