Preloved School Uniform Shop

Don’t miss our FREE Preloved School Uniform Shop in the Easter holidays.

The brilliant free-for-everyone Preloved School Uniform Shop is back for 2024! Pick up four free items for the new school term (no donations necessary).

Running daily from Saturday 6th April to Saturday 13th April (10am – 4pm) with all donations welcome from Wednesday 28th February.

Uniforms and sports kits are necessary (but sometimes costly) expenses so to make everyone’s life that little bit easier, our Preloved School Uniform Shop will be running for a whole week (until stocks last). Pop in and find everything you need.

If you have spare clothes to donate:

• The donation box will be open from Wednesday 28th February next to Flying Tiger Copenhagen.
• We welcome branded and unbranded core uniform items and sportswear. This can include footwear and school bags.
• We kindly request that any donations are hand-me-down quality and laundered.

How to visit:

• The free and welcoming pop-up shop will be open daily Saturday 6th April to Saturday 13th April (10am – 4pm).
• Come on in and find everything you need for the new school term (customers are able to take up to four items to ensure there’s enough availability for all visitors, no donations necessary).
• The store will be open as long as stocks last.

About last year’s event

In summer 2023, Ealing Broadway hosted the free Preloved School Uniform Shop. We were overwhelmed with generous donations including brand-new uniforms, school ties and bags with any damaged items added to the Love Not Landfill clothes bank for recycling.

The beautifully presented shop was open for a total of 10 days, we received 10,242 donations and 2,398 parents participated; preventing approximately 2.27 tonnes of clothing going to landfill. The shop was managed by British Land, service partner volunteers and paid-for event staff.

As well as helping people during the cost-of-living crisis and recycling surplus school clothing, the Preloved School Uniform Shop was all about the community supporting each other – it was your donations that made the event such a success. As one father explained: “Thank you forever for this. I found my boy some football boots now he will be able to play.”
