School uniform grants across the UK have been cut, leaving many families without help. National Children’s Centre are pleased to support the Uniform Exchange programme across Huddersfield.
Uniform Exchange was established by a group of
Huddersfield mums in response to the ‘Poor kids’ documentary shown on
BBC1 on Tuesday 7th June 2011. In a matter of weeks, and with the
support of The National Children's Centre, Kirklees Council and a number of other volunteer
mums, the group set up and promoted Uniform Exchange to local schools
and Children’s Centres within the Huddersfield area.
How can you help?
Uniform Exchange need donations of second hand School Uniforms – shoes, t-shirts, dresses, coats, jumpers, shirts, trousers, skirts, trainers and shorts.
Damaged items that are beyond repair will be sold as rags to raise funds towards the project. |
