What families say

This platform has been invaluable whilst I've been a student with very limited income and I really very much appreciate it.

I haven't bought any school uniform this year! You've helped me to save a lot of money.

It feels great to give these clothes a second life rather than throwing them away.

For Schools

Whether your school is starting from scratch or already has a busy swap shop, FreeSchoolClothes.com is designed to work for you.

FreeSchoolClothes.com is flexible. It can compliment and run alongside your existing physical swap shop or standalone.

1. Enhance your existing school clothes initiatives

e.g. physical swap shops. If you already have a rail or a regular uniform sale, use FreeSchoolClothes.com to make it easier to manage.

  • Show what's in stock: list available items online so families can browse evenings, weekends and holidays.
  • Better access for everyone: a huge help for families who live far away or can't get to the school regularly.
  • A "digital notice board": use it for big items you can't store at school, like bikes or desks.
  • Save time: FreeSchoolClothes.com does the work of connecting people, so your volunteers don't have to.

2. Your school's digital swap shop

Great for schools that don't have extra storage space or a team to sort clothes.

  • Direct swapping: families list their own items and arrange the hand-over with each other.
  • No storage needed: clothes stay at home with the families until they are needed by someone else.
  • Always open: families can browse items at any time — evenings, weekends, holidays.
