School Uniform Appeal 2026

The summer holidays have only just begun for most families in the UK. However, many are already thinking about how they will afford the cost of school uniforms, and other equipment, in time for their children returning to school in September.

This thank you message came in from a local church who has been supporting a single mum, and one of her needs was uniform for her children:

Thank you so much for the donations made for this single mum to buy school uniform for all three of her children who, due to rehousing, are enrolling into a new school. School uniform is a financial strain, so having these funds has really helped her financial burden at a time when she is dealing with other pressures. Mum has been coming in to see the Advocacy Worker a number of times and has now purchased everything she needs, and she explained how truly grateful she is.

The cost of uniform, at any time of year, is a financial strain for many families.

We have several requests for help with school uniform and other essential school items, which will lift a burden for families this summer. Take a look at the requests for help below, and consider donating to help a family who are unable to financially afford the cost of this.
