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 have quite a few girls blue school shirts age 6 and 7 if anybody could use them

I have a grey m&s Jersey pinafore size 7-8
Grey Jersey skirt size 7-8
Grey circle type skirt size 7-8
Bottle green asda Cardigan size 4-5
Bottle green Cardigan size 7-8
2 white polo shirts 7-8

All apart from the small Cardigan are m&s. I'm going to bleach the polo shirts to get them back to proper white and I'll repair a small tear in the asda Cardigan where its been on a book.

I've also got loads of casual clothes bagged up.

Pair of size 11 black plimsolls and a pair of pink floral start rite shoes in a 10.5.

If they are of use please shout up.

At the end of term I'll also have 3 green check asda summer dresses in 7-8

Keepontrying - I have two pits of girls grey school trousers age 6-7 but they are not massive if they would be any good? If so just pm me your address and I'll send them on

Hey happy to wade in here, I'm shame free

I will need boys grey/black shorts and trousers age 7-8.
And bright blue jumpers in age 7-9 and 11-12.

In return, I can offer Nike purple trainers in size 2, Clarks girls brogues in size 2, PE shorts in age 5 x 2 pairs, black skirts in age 8-9 x 2.

BUT, I'm not really in need as such. So if anybody more deserving comes along please put me to the bottom of the list.

Anyone's welcome to my offerings. Just want them out the pile labeled 'to go'!

I am not sure any of our uniform has survived the first year of school unless anyone is magical at removing apparently washable black pen then you are welcome to 3 or 4 aged 4 red sweatshirts.

I will have a couple m+s white polo shirts age 4 in couple weeks

I would love some age 4 grey trousers for a boy please and any 5-6 black sweatshirts or jumpers please and 5-6 white polo shirts please.

Thank you to Pat1ence for a fab idea - I've started a chikdrens clothes/shoes bank thread. Sorry don't know how to link to it but if someone else could that would be great!

I have a black age 15-16 Next v neck pullover (thin knit style) which is brand new, never been worn (bought for a funeral but not used).

Also boys all navy lightweight anorak/school coat. Next. Age 13. Has hood and light fleece lining.

Am happy to post to anyone who could use them.

Might have footy boots at end of term too.

just re checked DS s outgrown shirts : 3 are short sleeved
two are long sleeved
one is already allocated

all age 13 / 14

What a lovely thread. I'm just marking my place. I need to go through the kid's wardrobes so will post on here tomorrow with all the outgrown stuff.

Size 8 Long girl's trousers - black - new with tags
Size 10 regular girl's trousers - black - new with tags.

Free to anyone who messages me - will cover postage obviously.

(should say those are women's sizes - not ages ^^ )

Eastmids I'd love the red sweatshirts and polo t-shirts if they are still available, my youngest is going up to reception so needs to have uniform, being a big age gap between him and his brothers I haven't kept anything to hand down to him like I did for them lol

anotherbloody If those DM's are still available my DD would love them please? She got bought some previously but has outgrown them and I know she would love another pair.
I have bits and pieces of uniform that I will go through this week to offer.

AccordingToOurRecords thanks so much, I've pm'd you.

I have boys black slip on shoes size7 (adult 7) and two blue gingham summer dresses aged 3-4 if any use to anyone?

I have 8 white polo shirts age 8-9 looking for a home at the end of this week. If anyone is interested pm me your address.

I also have a pair of size 12 black boot cut trousers from Tesco that have been worn once. They would be suitable for school trousers.

Thefuture mrs b if you pm your address I can post them towards mid July just be aware the jumpers do have pen marks on but you may be the washing goddess I am not :)

Great idea!

Thank you to the poster who started this thread and to the wonderful people who have messaged me offering help. DD is now covered thanks to the amazing generosity of posters here. Thank you again you've really been amazing.

Just place marking so I can add what I have at the end of term.

Will be light blue and white polos and grey dress/skirt/trousers in 5-6.

Just need to sort through to make sure all bits are good enough to pass on.

I have sent out some promised parcels this morning and was very pleased to find out that postage costs seem a bit more reasonable than they once were so I thought this is worth mentioning If anyone wants to send bits but thought the postage costs may be prohibitive, the cost of parcels has definitely lowered.

I have 2 pairs of grey shorts, age 7-8 (outgrown so I can send straight away).

Pale grey trackie bottoms in 7-8.

Also have some black plimsolls in 12 1/2G.

Please PM me if you'd like these - not sure when I'll get to check back.

I've just sent out a 3kg parcel and sending it by Hermes was a third of the price of Royal Mail so heads up!
Lovely thread and is nice to be able to help out where possible

Upto 2kg royal mail is 2.80 if 2-5kg myhermes is cheaper
