We’re proud to partner with The Salvation Army
Give your uniform a second life
We’re proud to be part of a new initiative with Banner and The Salvation Army Trading Company, helping to reduce textile waste and give pre-loved school uniform a second chance.
At selected Monkhouse stores, you can now donate pre-loved, plain, non-badged school uniform that is still in good, clean condition. Suitable items will be passed on to Salvation Army Trading Company, where they can help raise vital funds for charity. This supports a more sustainable approach to schoolwear and makes it easier for families to pass on items responsibly. Monkhouse already promotes durable uniform and plain schoolwear, while SATCoL’s take-back scheme is designed to help reduce textile waste and fund charitable work.
