What we do · School uniforms
A uniform isa ticket to class.
In many of the communities we serve, children can't attend school without a uniform — and families living in poverty can't always afford one. Around £12 puts a child in uniform for a year of belonging.
The barrier
Excluded by what they wear
Where uniforms are required, a child without one is a child kept home. And a child in worn or missing uniform is marked out, day after day, as the one whose family couldn't afford it. That stigma drives children out of the classroom as surely as any fee.
Our answer
Uniforms that say: you belong here
We provide school uniforms to children who need them most, removing stigma and helping children feel they belong in the classroom — so no child is excluded from learning because of what they wear.
