SCHOOL UNIFORM BANK thread

[Queenofknickers]

Hi, I wanted to be clear about the thread I started before - it's not a swap, so nothing is required in return! It's for the perfectly good uniform items that you might otherwise give to charity. This way we can support each other in our mumsnet community.

I've got several pairs of boys black school trousers aged 8-9 with adjustable waists. Free to good home and I'm happy to post just PM me

I will shortly have a quantity of secondary girls basic uniform - black skirts/trousers, white blouses, various sizes. I'm not 100% certain whether it will be required again in what's left of this post GCSE term.

I'll be posting the blazers on my local FB noticeboard as they're completely school specific.

Yes! People are posting! Thank you!!!

I also have a pair of nike blue trainers size 3. Have been worn but would still be good for a term or so - plus they are "cool" allegedly

Will try to sort out uniform soon.

But I have
boys tracksuit bottoms - Nike, black/blue size 8-10 yrs
boys Adidas sports top - white size 9-10 yrs

A few years old now so not current kit but
Arsenal shorts + top 8-10yrs red/white
Arsenal away shorts + top 8-10 yrs yellow/maroon

Queen I would love to be considered for the size 3 trainers please, my sons are splitting and as school ends in 4 weeks and he moves up to high school it seems a shame to have to go get more when his feet will more than likely grow a size pretty soon!

I have a fair bit of uniform to offer to new home.

Boys Blk/grey quilted jacket. Age 7
Brand new Blk slip on plimsolls. 11
Girls cotton grey skirt. Age 3
Girls jersey grey skirts x2. Age 4
Unisex blk cotton pe shorts. Label says age 3-4, but looks more like 4-5 to me.
A few Brand new bottle green sweatshirts age 5 and 7.
A few used bottle green sweatshirts as well age. 5 and 7.
A couple of green and white summer dresses age 10.
Few girls green sweatshirt cardigans. Age 9-10
Few girls green cardigans with fluted at hem. Age 9-10.
Boys grey cargo shorts. Age 3 or 4 I think.

If anyone needs black, white with yellow or white with red socks? We seem to have looooaaaads!! Would fit sizes 9 to 12ish.

TheFutureMrsB - great! PM me your address and Ill post! X

What a wonderful idea Queen.

The poverty thread has evoked a lot of emotion and memories for me tonight.

Bit late tonight but I'm going to have a look tomorrow at what uniform my DD has grown out of and get it posted on here.

What a fantastic idea OP!

I'm due to have a sort out in the next few days, so should have clothes (not all uniform items though) and possibly a few pairs of hardly worn football boots/trainers.

I'll be sure to come back when I've sorted them out.

I would like to help too. What do people need?

If anyone has any boys uniform either age 5-6 or 7-8 / 8-9 I would be a grateful recipient!

I won't outline my current situation as it's a loooooong story but I have a thread here

Thank you x

Shamelessly bumping thread for the Saturday MN crowd!

I have:

several pairs of charcoal grey boys' school trousers (M&S) with adjustable waistbands, good condition, age 12.
White school shirts for boys age 12 - slim and normal fit
Black leather Clarks school shoes size 5 1/2 and 61/2 (adult sizes)
Navy V neck cotton M&S school jumpers age 11.
Loads of grey school socks up to about size 5 adult shoe size.

Also, for summer - tee shirts, shorts, swimming shorts - all good condition, cheaper makes (Sainsbury/Primark) ages 10-12

I pay postage. Let me know what you need. PM with your address.
You'll be doing me a favour helping clear out this stuff, so please don't be shy if you need it.

Le giraffe are the boys school trousers 8-9 (black) any use? If so PM me your address and I will post

Oh yes please I'll PM you now x

Can you on me your address lagiraffe. I will send you something.

Great idea OP
Although by the time things have been down via my 3dc, they aren't usually fit to pass on elsewhere

What a lovely thread x

I really don't want to do this but if anyone has any 12-13 black girls school trousrrs/skirts and white blouses I'd be ecstatic to take them off your hands then I could use the £30 grant for a new blazer. I have MH issues that mean I'll probably never work and I know it's pathetic but I'm too scared to apply for PIP so we are surviving on ESA but I just can't afford a big spend out for uniform and DD is already being bullied for being poor and it's Killing me. Sorry to be a bother.

Great thread! I will have plenty to offer when school holidays start, as kids are changing schools and a lot of stuff will no longer be suitable.

This is a lovely thread ladies.
