Chippenham Uniform Exchange is a dedicated, unified system of recycling school uniform in Chippenham, Wiltshire, and the surrounding villages- an independent "one stop shop" to obtain preloved uniform for any child, any time, regardless of the school attended, and without shame or embarrassment. It is the only such scheme in operation in the area. Anyone with school-aged children can benefit from our project. That's 6,758 pupils attending 13 mainstream state schools within Chippenham, plus approximately another 2,000 pupils attending special schools and village schools. Since launching to families in January 2023 we have: Received 6,403 items of donated uniform;Deployed 4 large donation bins at key venues around Chippenham;Received 326 direct requests for uniform;Held 13 pop-up shops;Repaired 156 items of uniform for re-use;Given 1,625 items of unform to 376 families;Saved those families £13,000 compared to the cost of buying new;Saved 325kgs of textile waste from landfill;Saved 4,387,500 litres of water from the production of new fabric;Saved the equivalent of 5,850kg of carbon dioxide from the manufacture and transport of new clothes.We make it easy for families and schools to recycle outgrown or surplus uniform, provide an option for families who choose to shop sustainably, and reduce the cost of buying school uniform. Our project supports families in the community who are facing increased challenges arising from the current cost of living crisis or any other financial difficulty by reducing the financial burden of buying full, correct and well-fitting school uniform for children, giving all families access to recycled school uniform at very low cost, or free to families in financial hardship. This in turn has a positive social and emotional effect upon families and children by reducing social isolation and improving mental well-being of children and their families. It is also environmentally friendly by encouraging reuse and recycling of school uniform and reducing landfill waste.
Our stakeholders include schools, PTAs, support organisations, parents/carers and children aged 4-16 living in Chippenham or the surrounding villages or attending school there. Our directors are all parents of school-aged children living in or attending school in Chippenham.We consult with our stakeholders by: -Inviting community members to volunteer with us;-Communicating regularly with head teachers, pastoral workers and PTAs to maximise our reach;-Adapting our scheme to make it accessible to everyone;-Using Facebook so stakeholders can comment on how our scheme can be improved which influences the development, scope and delivery of the company’s activities;-Interacting with parents/carers at pop-up shops and elsewhere which gives us regular opportunity to gain feedback on how to best meet the needs of families;-Collecting data to measure the impact of our provision- the number of families who have benefitted from the provision, environmental impact and the financial benefit to families;-Seeking feedback from stakeholders as to how the project has benefitted them.
