Ockbrook & Borrowash School Uniform Bank

Thank you to everyone who attended our event today. We hope you are pleased with the items you collected. It’s lovely to see so many people at each event.

We wanted to let you know about a little issue we have. Recently we have found we are receiving a large amount of uniform items that we cannot use as they are not in a good condition. This could be because they are marked, discoloured, damaged or worn out.

We are very grateful for donations of course, as we could not operate without them, but we are a small team and we spend a lot of time sorting through donations and it’s disheartening when many are unsuitable.

So, as long as items are clean, undamaged and in good condition then we would love to receive them please!

This weekend we have a car full to find spaces at clothing collection points 🤞👀

We hope you understand and can continue to support the initiative 😊

Thank you!

So sorry but due to illness we have to postpone the collection event until 28th February.

Please share so we can minimise people making wasted trips tomorrow. Thanks ❤️

We are thinking about a date for the next collection event.

Is the end of January too late?

Please let us know your thoughts ❤️

🥳WE ARE 5 YEARS OLD THIS MONTH🥳

Whoop whoop! 🙌

Thank you to everyone who has donated and supported us so far in our quest to provide free school uniform to anyone who wants it!

We had another fabulous collection event yesterday and loved seeing all the happy faces. It’s such a lovely feeling being able to share the school uniforms and hopefully make people’s lives a little easier.🫶🏼

Just think of all the school uniform that would have ended up in landfill sites if it wasn’t for you all. 😊

Thank you also to the absolutely lovely team of volunteers who give up their free time to make it all possible.🥰

We will be having the next collection event in early January and will let you know the date via the page a bit closer to the time.
If you or someone you know is in need before then, please send us a message and we will do our best to help.

❤️❤️❤️
