Fresh pencils and notebooks, the sounds of school bells⦠Back-to-school season is just around the corner! Here at New Beginnings Reading, we want to help families make this time of year a bit less stressful by offering a School Uniform Pop-up Shop. This service is for families in need of extra financial support.
What is it?
This is a service to pick up free, pre-owned school uniforms. We have a large selection of school trousers, summer dresses, school skirts, some branded school wear, shirts and polo tops. We also have a selection of childrenβs clothing, footwear and coats to choose from.
When is it?
The pop-up shop will be open the first two Wednesdays of August (the 5th and 13th) from 6-7pm.
Where is it?
The Queens Arms (24 Great Knollys Street)
How can I help donate?
Weβll take donations during these times as well, but one of the best and easiest ways to donate is through this secure link on our website - https://www.newbeginningsreading.org/donate
What else should I know?
Social distancing will be observed at the pop-up shops. You can also participate in our Community Fridge during these hours at the same location.
