Smarter Uniforms

It is , a global day of action inspiring reuse.

Much of the school uniform we use is made of polyester, this makes it last longer. But if it is discarded, it can take between 200 and 500 years to break down whilst releasing microplastics into the environment, just like fast fashion.

😇Look after your uniform
♻️ Put it on a community rail when you no longer need it
👛 Sell it on our marketplace

👛Our community uniform rails mean families can access school uniform for free. The rails rely on donations of good quality and clean uniform.

📣Our rails need more uniform - have you got uniform you could donate? GCSEs about to finish and you want to get rid of uniform?

😇Help your local community by donating uniform.

👀Check out www.smarteruniforms.org for the location of the rails

📣 We are thrilled to have received grant funding from the National Lottery recently. This was such welcome news and yes, a massive relief too. Securing grant funding is hard work, often soul destroying and has really tested our resilience. But we kept going and it paid off. Good luck to anyone submitting funding applications, stick with it🤞!

♻👛 We are gearing up for the summer and looking forward to helping even more families access second-hand school uniform.

💚 We are recruiting, we've got new volunteers, we are getting out and about, we are setting up more uniform rails and look out for news about our marketplace in the coming weeks.
