New Uniform, Fresh Start!

We believe that every child deserves to start the school year with fresh clothes and the study tools they need to help them succeed.

So we've made it our mission to provide a new school uniform and basic school items (such as geometry sets and stationery kits) to primary school children from families who may be struggling in the London borough of Croydon.

You can start helping without donating a penny!

How to help for FREE!

How does it work?

We've partnered with easyfundraising, the UK's Number 1 charity donation site.

Every time you buy something online, from one of over 8,000 famous high street brands that have partnered with easyfundraising, we receive a donation from that brand.

Simply speaking, when you start your shop (using our link) the shop can see that we sent you to them. If you make a purchase, a commission is generated, and that turns into a donation! At zero cost to you - the shops pays us the donation!

How much do brands donate when you shop with them?

Most brands pay a % of what you spend with them as a donation, for example if you spend £150 on a hotel via booking.com, they will donate 3% which is £4.50. Some retailers pay a flat amount, for example if you buy car insurance with confused.com via easyfundraising, they will donate a flat £15 regardless of the cost of the policy.

But why a NEW uniform?
What's wrong with a second-hand one?

Providing a student with a new school uniform instead of a second-hand one can offer several distinct advantages:

Boosts Self-Esteem and Confidence
Wearing a new uniform can significantly boost a student's self-esteem and confidence. Knowing that they have something new and equal to their peers can help them feel valued and respected.

Hygiene and Health
New uniforms are likely to be cleaner and free from any potential allergens or irritants that might be present in second-hand clothing. This can contribute to better hygiene and health for the student.

Durability and Longevity
New uniforms are generally more durable and last longer than second-hand ones. This ensures that the student has a reliable uniform throughout the school year, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Sense of Equality
Receiving a new uniform places the student on an equal footing with their peers who also have new uniforms. This can reduce any feelings of inferiority or stigma associated with wearing second-hand clothing.

Motivation and Pride
A new uniform can instil a sense of pride and motivation in students. They may feel more enthusiastic about attending school and participating in school activities when they feel good about their appearance.

Symbol of Fresh Start
A new uniform can symbolise a fresh start and new opportunities. This psychological boost can be particularly beneficial at the beginning of a school year or a new academic term.

Consistent Appearance
New uniforms ensure that all students have a consistent and standardised appearance, which helps maintain the intended dress code and school identity more effectively.

No Wear and Tear
Second-hand uniforms may show signs of wear and tear, such as fading, stains, or damage. New uniforms, being in pristine condition, present a more polished and professional appearance.

Providing a new school uniform to a poor student can therefore enhance their sense of dignity, equality, and readiness for school, contributing positively to their overall educational experience and personal development.

Inspiration

After watching Pascal Plisson's inspiring documentary, "On the Way to School," I was moved to take action in my local community. The film follows the journeys of four children from different parts of the world who face long and sometimes dangerous distances on their way to school.

I firmly believe that every child deserves an equal opportunity to learn. I want to help make that a reality by providing local primary school children with complete school uniform kits. By working together, we can create a brighter future for these young minds and empower them to pursue their dreams confidently. Join me in this mission to eliminate obstacles to education, one uniform at a time. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of children.
