✨♻🎒 Pre-loved to Re-loved School Uniform in Rossendale 🎒♻✨
Did you know that many of our local schools have their own in-house pre-loved school uniform banks as well as exchange and swap schemes? Sometimes they have a page, a link via their website or drop-in days you can go along to to access it.
Most schools will have some admin coverage over the summer holidays too, so don't be afraid to ask. Just remember, if you don't get an answer straight away, please give it 24-48hours to see if they get back to you as they may be working reduced hours.
And, if there’s a suggested donation amount per item purchased, you’ll often find this goes to the PTA who’ll use the funds to help buy new equipment or host an event for the kids, so its win, win all round!

Final word...It's kinder to the planet to reduce textile waste by re-using school uniform as well as being kinder to people’s pockets. And, you won't be the only parent/carer doing it either, we promise.
We'll let you in on a secret 🤫... Quietly, there’s a little pre-loved to re-loved revolution going on out there, and not just with school uniform. Did you know the local pages we mentioned above have a combined following of 60,000+ people. That's 60,000+ like-minded people wanting to reduce, reuse and recycle! So absolutely no need to feel too proud, shy or embarrassed. Loads of people are doing it 🤗
