Wellingborough Eco Group and Greatwell Homes.
We would like to give Greatwell Homes residents and service users at ECO HUB the opportunity to donate, swap and receive school uniforms as part of our Swap Shop. This will be free and open to all but will also have the opportunity for Greatwell Homes residents to get free uniforms. It has formed into a school uniform bank that is available for those that are in need to get uniform as and when it is needed.
Our ‘School Uniform Bank’ is a bit of a mouthful of a title, so it will also be shortened to SUB, which is short and catchy! So if you have you have uniform that your child has grown out of, share your surplus items with us so we can pass them on!
Uniforms will be available on Tuesdays 10-5, Thursdays 10-5 at ECO HUB, Swansgate Shopping Centre. It’s part of Wellingborough Swap Shop but all items of uniform are free! Donations of uniforms will be much appreciated from all schools in Wellingborough. We will also be contacting schools to make more uniforms available.
We initially started off as SURP+that focussed on permanently offering school uniforms as part of our existing Swap Shop offer, but is now set up as SUB, a School Uniform Bank. Wellingborough Swap Shop has recently been improved with many more items now available at ECO HUB.
Customers using this service will also benefit from Wellingborough Eco Group’s other services including Food Sharers, where they can get food that is at or slightly passed it’s best before date for free, saving the food from waste whilst saving customers money on their food bills. Happy Cafes offer free tea and coffee, Eco-Crafters meet weekly to share skills and socialise, and Eco Club for Kids offer fun activities for all families during the school holidays.
