02 Activities

What the charity does

Volunteers operate "hubs" in Wirral. They receive school uniforms no longer needed by families; those in good condition are distributed on request to families needing them. Requests can be made online and/or in person. Clothes in poor condition are sent for recycling. No payments are made. A co-ordinator moves stock from where it is in surplus to where it is needed.
