Janet Johnston hopes to help cash-strapped parents cope with the rising cost of brand new uniforms
A former school matron has launched a brand new uniform recycling platform to help parents tackle the cost of living crisis.
In addition, parents can recycle their second-hand items by selling them on to other parents through the site. Janet said: “With the cost of living crisis, it is increasingly difficult to kit out children in brand new uniforms at the start of every school year. “The thought of September looming and having to spend a fortune on brand new uniform that children will grow out of in a few months can cast a long shadow over the summer holidays for many parents,” said Janet, who is step-mum to a 21-year-old daughter.
“I spoke to many mums and dads and was met with the same response: no parent wants to restrict their child’s opportunities because they can’t afford it,” Janet explained.
