Corporate Responsibility. Every time you buy an item from our charitable school uniform range, we will donate a whole new uniform to a child in need.
Donations come in many forms, and an education is one of the most powerful gifts you can give. That’s the idea behind our You Buy One, We Donate One range. When you buy an item from this range, which comes at the same cost, quality and style as our regular uniform, we will donate an entire school uniform to a child in Kenya, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh. Since 2009, with your help, we have donated more than 350,000 uniforms, giving children in these countries a brighter future.
