Edinburgh School Uniform Bank

About

Edinburgh School Uniform Bank was set up in 2015 to provide new and preloved school uniforms and other school essentials to those in need. Our vision is that all children thrive at school. We aim to mitigate the effects of child poverty and increase self-esteem and well-being in children and young people, hence enabling them to get the most out of their education and to feel confident and included. Our service also relieves stress in parents and carers. We also work to reduce the amount of school uniform going to landfill. Our two main methods of delivering our service are through the provision of clothing crisis packs and our in-school crisis prevention in the form of new stock Uniform Banks known as ‘WeeSUBs'.
