WE NEED YOUR HELP
Given the recent increase in daily living costs, the number of young people needing support with school uniforms has risen. With just 2 weeks to go until schools return, several families in Blackburn are still in need of school uniforms.
On average, high school uniforms cost £150.
In Blackburn with Darwen, there are 10,475 children under 16 in low-income families, the 4th highest in England. 12,639 under 16 in relative low-income families, the 5th highest in England.
We have partnered with Blackburn with Darwen Council and Rummage Rescuers to campaign throughout August to raise vital funds to help families who are struggling to buy uniforms for their children, and no young person will go without them.
We are reaching out to the local people of Blackburn with Darwen to help. .
Do you have unwanted school uniform items you could donate?
You can find your local drop point here at Blackburn Youth Zone.
Alternatively, a donation to buy a uniform would be gratefully received and can be made here
If you are somebody you know needs help accessing school uniforms, please email uniforms@rummagerescuers.org.uk or speak with a Blackburn Youth Zone Youth Worker.
