Second Hand Uniform Cupboard – Needs Help!
Our ever popular second hand uniform cupboard needs some love! In previous years we have had volunteers help sort and tidy the uniforms – this year we would love one (or a couple of mates!) to assist in the process.
It’s a great volunteer role to do once every few weeks after drop-off/before pick up. The office would be eternally grateful for any assistance! If you’re keen, please let us know!
