Braehead Marks & Spencer to take part in school uniform swap scheme

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Braehead’s Marks and Spencer store has announced it will be taking part in this year’s Shwopping scheme which will see pre-loved school uniforms given a new lease of life.

Through the new M&S Back-to-School Shwopping boxes, donated pre-loved school uniform - which passes the hand-me-down quality test - will be given a second life in an Oxfam shop and, for the first time, made available on a dedicated pre-loved school uniform shop on eBay.

By partnering with eBay, M&S and Oxfam hope the pilot shop will mean even more families can access affordable, great quality school uniform – no matter where they live or how they choose to shop.Every school uniform sale - whether through Oxfam’s shops or via the eBay shop - will raise funds to support the vital work the charity does to tackle poverty and inequality around the world, including supporting communities on the front line of climate change.Any school uniform that can’t be resold in Oxfam shops or on eBay will be recycled or reused wherever possible.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
