In the charity's own words
Our mission is to provide free school uniform to any child in need, whilst encouraging children and families to help others and the environment. Instead of discarding old school uniform and filling landfill sites, we ask families to donate their old uniform to Uniform Exchange. We make school uniform accessible to all children across Kirklees, especially for those facing financial hardship.
