Glaswegians are also being asked to donate any of their old clothes if they can 💜🙌
This week Marks and Spencer stores in Scotland have announced the extension of the company’s long-standing Shwopping scheme with the roll-out of dedicated school uniform Shwop boxes in 23 of its stores across Scotland.It’s the first time a national retailer, Oxfam, and eBay have come together to pilot the sale of the clothing through a pre-loved eBay school uniform shop - each item of which is quality tested.
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.

Donating pre-loved school uniforms through the scheme is not only better for the environment, since it gives garments a longer lifecycle, it also raises funds for Oxfam’s life-saving work, and it helps parents here in the UK who may be struggling with the cost of kitting their children out for school.
