Uniform Partnership
Our Uniform Partnership works alongside the Gateshead West Uniform Scheme to help families access good-quality second-hand school uniform in a confidential and supportive way. The initiative is designed to reduce financial pressure on families while promoting sustainability and reducing waste.
Parents and carers involved in our programmes can contact us directly to arrange collection or request specific items. By working together, we aim to make school uniform more affordable, accessible and environmentally friendly for everyone in our community.
