How you can help
Volunteering Opportunities
Here at Glasgow’s Pre-loved Uniforms, we are always looking for a helping hand that will enable us to deliver our services to as many young people as possible.
There are a number of roles that could be undertaken, from sorting clothes on rails to fundraising.
To find out more about what you could do to help, send us an email or contact us via social media.
Donating Uniforms
Any school uniforms that you are able to donate would be
greatly
appreciated.
If you would like to donate a pre-loved uniform to us you
can do
so by leaving them in a drop off location at one of our
partner
schools or community centres.
Alternatively, you can drop them off to us directly, just
send
us a message via text, email or on our social media to
arrange a
drop off time and someone will meet you at our home
at 249 Govan Road.
Donations
To ensure a great quality of service we have a
number of
running costs such as washing the uniforms, rental
of
storage spaces, delivery vehicle maintenance and
fuel.
Being a charity we rely on donations from the public
and
some grants to help cover all of these costs.
Anything that you could donate would go a long way
to
help ensure that all children across Glasgow will
have
access to a school uniform.
