The council is once again running the School Uniform Scheme this year, delivered in partnership with Mid and East Antrim Community Hub and supported by Mid and East Antrim Poverty Action Group (PAG) and Volunteer Now
School Uniform Scheme Drop Off and Collection Points:
For your convenience, donations of good quality, clean school uniforms can be dropped off to each of our Pop-Up Shops (locations below) and uniform items can also be collected between Monday 8 July until Friday 30 August 2024:
- Ballymena – Retail Unit 58-59 Tower Centre, Wellington Street Ballymena, Co. Antrim, BT43 6AH: Mon – Fri 10am – 2pm
- Larne – 4 Upper Main Street, Larne, Co.Antrim, BT40 1JZ: Wed and Thur 10am -2pm
- Carrick – 2 Joymount, Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim, BT38 7DN (please note – uniform drop off / collection is unavailable during 5 – 9 August in Carrickfergus): Mon and Tues 10am - 2pm
This year we will be asking for a minimum donation of £1 per item, with nylon blazers £2 and woollen blazers £3.
Funds will be in aid of the Poverty Action Group.
To note:
There is no qualifying criteria or referral process. People can go along and drop off uniforms, however if they have nothing to donate, they can still pick up anything that they need (subject to availability) throughout July and August.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Catherine
Environmental Education Officer
