School Uniform Project

School Uniform Project

Following the success of our second hand school uniform project introduced in 2023 we have made this an ongoing project to provide families with second hand school uniform for a small suggested donation.

Autumn 2026 – School Coats

For the first time we will be running a School Coat Project this autumn.

Good condition school coats for children ages 2 to 14 can be dropped off in the collection box outside our foyer.

Coats will then be available every Tuesday and Friday in October from 8:30am to 10am, from our foyer, for a modest voluntary donation to the Reef charity which helps support our youth club and local community, and maintains our building.

Drop-off your Pre-loved School Uniform

You can drop off your pre-loved uniform (clean and in good repair please!) in the collection boxes in the Reef’s foyer during our normal office hours (9:30am to 2:30pm Tues – Fri).

We will accept uniform for any local schools in the Colehill and Wimborne area including:

  • QE Upper School
  • St Michael’s Middle School
  • Allenbourn Middle School
  • Hayeswood First School
  • Colehill First School
  • Wimborne First School

School Uniform Donations

On the publicised days come along and pick up any uniform items you require for a modest voluntary donation:
  • For QE blazers we suggest £4
  • For most other items we suggest £2 or less.
Donations can be made in cash or card or by online bank payment.  All money raised will go to the The Reef’s charity, which supports our youth club and local community, and maintains our building.
Note, the suggested donation amounts may be waived at our discretion if you are struggling financially and having difficulty providing the school clothing your child requires.  If you have any particular concerns or requirements you’d like to discuss then please contact our office on a completely confidential basis.
