Help us wrap our arms around our local children this winter! Many children are attending school with inadequate jackets which won’t keep them warm or don't have a jacket meaning they won’t attend school. You can help us change this for a local child.

1/2 We were delighted to join in the conversation about school uniforms at @ScotParl yesterday. It's so important that ALL children feel included and valued, and that uniform policies focus on affordable, accessible clothing for all. #ClothesCountToo

Planning to respond to the @scotgov consultation on national uniform policy guidance? Our new briefing sets out what children+families say about uniform costs, what schools do to help and how the right guidance can help reduce the #CostoftheSchoolDay

The cost-of-living crisis is affecting many people including our supporters. We are struggling to keep up with increasing prices of items too. If you are having a clear out at home we would appreciate donations of good quality jackets, uniform, PE kit to help us top up our packs.

If you’re unable to afford the essentials you need for your family during the #CostOfLivingCrisis your local baby bank may be able to help provide things like nappies, cots, clothing.

🎥 “The people of Edinburgh have been brilliant”
🏫 School is back and a uniform bank is telling us they’re busier than ever.
🗣 Our Senior Reporter @LewisMichie0 visited @EdinUniformBank yesterday to speak to Chair Margaret Civval.

This week the children of West Lothian return to school and we issued 717 uniform packs. We couldn't have done this without the generosity and kindness of every single person and organisation who supported us over the summer period. THANK YOU ALL! 🥰

Respect for charities below,very sad they're so necessary and hoping all schools take full account of the very difficult financial circumstances of many in making decisions about uniform policy and its enforcement.And good luck to all returning or starting school Edinburgh today!
If Scotland's clothing bank charities didn't exist, thousands of children across the country simply wouldn't have what they need for their return to school this week. Our work makes a huge difference in these difficult times. Please help us to raise awareness.

Good luck to all the children and young people returning to school tomorrow! It's been a busy summer for us, and we've supported more than 500 pupils over the last few weeks with the essentials they need for school. Demand is high and growing all the time.

Thank you to the Livingston Round Table who donated 200 pencil cases today.
Children love a pencil case, they are proud to show off their new pencil case to their friends! The little things like a pencil case can make such a big difference to a child.🥰

We have a selection of jackets, shoes & football boots available free for anyone needing a little help planning the return to school term.
No referral needed, and no need to speak to anyone. Just take the desired size, but please be mindful of others and take only what you need.
