0We believe that every child deserves to look and feel smart at school, to feel that they belong, and to avoid the negative effects of hardship on their well-being and education.
We distribute bespoke packs of new school uniform to hundreds of Edinburgh families each year, as well as supplying nearly-new uniform to schools and community groups. Unfortunately, the need for our services is growing fast.
By supporting our work, you can help a wee one feel included, enabling them to fit in with their classmates. You can be the difference between a teenager attending school and engaging with their education or staying away. You can give a child the confidence to work hard in the classroom and take part in activities, instead of fretting about not having a gym kit.
We hope our uniform packs can help improve children’s attendance, self-esteem and ability to engage with education, rather than worrying about not fitting in with their peers, or being inappropriately dressed for the weather.
We’ve even been told that by supplying school uniform to Edinburgh families in need, we’ve freed up the money they need to put food on the table.
Our vision is that every child and young person in Edinburgh has a school uniform.
Our mission is to work with donors, volunteers and partners to make sure that every child and young person in Edinburgh has a school uniform. Families tell us that receiving a uniform helps their children’s self-esteem and school attendance.
