Over the next month, we will be collecting ‘preloved’ school uniforms and distributing them to hundreds of families in Brent.

The families we see every week already face countless financial challenges, and many simply can’t afford to buy new uniforms in time for the new school year in September.

Our Uniform Drive is also a green decision. We want to encourage everyone to reduce, reuse and recycle the items they no longer need, whilst supporting their local community.

What are we collecting?

Any school shirts, polo shirts, trousers, jumpers, blazers, ties, pinafores and shoes. Particularly in need are secondary-age trousers and blazers.

We ask that the uniform is donated in good condition. Please wash items before donating, and do not donate any items that have tears, stains or holes.

How can I donate my spare uniform?

We will be partnering with schools in Brent borough for the uniform collection. Look out for yellow Sufra wheelie bins at your school! If you have collected lots of uniform and you need help getting it to us – give us a call on 0203 441 1335 and we may be able to help! Uniform can also be dropped off at Sufra NW London at 160 Pitfield Way, Stonebridge, NW10 0PW any time between Monday-Friday 10am-5pm before MONDAY 7TH AUGUST 2023.

How else can I support the Uniform Drive?

Please get in touch if you would like a Uniform Collection Bin to rally your community and collect as much as possible! The more donations we receive, the more families we will be able to support. If you can collect uniforms from your own networks, including your neighbours, place of worship or workplace, then we can support you. Email nina@sufra-nwlondon.org.uk for more info.

Together, we can supply uniforms to hundreds of young people this summer, allowing them to start the new year ready to learn.
