Up to £150 for school uniform reuse shops

Calling all schools in West London (and parents or guardians with kids at school).

The School Uniform Reuse Shop Fund helps make it easier for families to access good-quality pre-loved school uniform and reduce clothing waste. It saves money, saves waste, and gets kids thinking about reuse and making stuff last longer.

The scheme offers up to £150 for schools to set up a new school uniform reuse shop or to improve an existing one. It’s open to schools across West London Waste’s boroughs: Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, and Richmond.

The funding can be spent on items that support school uniform reuse, including:

• Clothes rails
• Hangers
• Storage boxes
• Shelving
• Signage
• Other agreed items that directly support school uniform reuse
