Providing school uniforms to families experiencing financial hardship in Edinburgh.
The aim of Edinburgh School Uniform Back is to provide school uniforms to children in families who are experiencing financial hardship. We are a small group of volunteers working from our own homes.
The uniforms are distributed by referral from organisations such as Social Work Departments, Womens Aid, Young Carers etc.
We aim to promote pride, dignity and self-esteem in children from families experiencing financial hardship in Edinburgh.
By providing good-quality school uniform and other important clothing and equipment, children living in poverty can attend school without stigma.
We hope our uniform packs can help improve children’s attendance, self-esteem and ability to engage with education, rather than worrying about not fitting in with their peers, or being inappropriately dressed for the weather.
We’ve even been told that by supplying school uniform to Edinburgh families in need, we’ve freed up the money they need to put food on the table.
