This directory has been put together to help parents source pre-loved school uniform locally in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. We have included uniform banks and community resale or swap shops here, to suit all needs.

For most people, a great place to start is speaking to your school to see if they know of one or if they run their own swap scheme. If you can't see your local area listed, please keep in mind this list is not exhaustive and we will add to it as we find more links. 

Government Support Available

Additionally, local councils in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and some in England offer up to £200 in school uniform grants per eligible child. Find more information on your local council website or here: School uniform grants: who's eligible, amounts & how to apply. 

Updated: May 2026

*These uniform banks may require payment or exchange for school uniform, but parents are still encouraged to look at what's on offer.
**These uniform banks have not yet been updated for 2026 as of May 2026, but this may happen in the following months.
