Parents and carers can pick up free school uniforms for their children at an event tomorrow (20) being held in Mapperley to help those struggling due to the cost of living crisis and also help save the planet.
The Open Day has been organised by The Uniform Project and is taking place at St Jude’s Church, on Woodborough Road between 1pm-4pm.
Uniforms on display are free – although organisers ask that a small donation is made if possible to help them continue running the events.
Those attending are only asked to take what they need and ‘think of others’. A spokesman for the project said: “If your child is in 4-5 jumpers, they do not need 7-8 jumpers just yet. If you take items in advance, you are taking away a jumper from someone who needs this size for this school year.”

They added: “Once your child has grown out of their items, please donate them back to us, so they can be recycled all over again and benefit another child as well as our beautiful planet.”
The Uniform Project was set up to help parents, schools and communities in Nottingham to reduce clothing waste by upcycling school uniforms.
The Project achieves this by collecting uniform donations from schools throughout the year and releasing them back to the community for parents to upcycle and save money at the same time.
The Uniform Project was founded by a Nottingham mum called Emma, is supported by Councillor Audrey Dinnall, the Woven Churches and St John’s Church (Carrington), Himmah and Sharewear to save school uniforms from landfill, helping save the planet.
