Pre-loved School Uniform Shop

If your child has outgrown their school uniform, we'd be so grateful if you would consider donating it to the Hive at Basildon United Reformed Church.

Your donations will be given to local families, helping to ensure every child has what they need for September.

We welcome donations for all local Primary and secondary schools, including: school uniform, school bags, PE kits, Coats, school equipment and other useful items.

Every donation, no matter how small, helps ease the financial pressure on local families and gives good-quality items a second life.

If you'd like to donate, please drop your items off at Basildon United Reformed Church, The Hive, 6 Honeypot Lane Basildon SS14 2JZ every Wednesday 10am-1pm.

If you are in need of uniform please feel free to pop in and take whatever you need completely FREE of charge, every Wednesdays 10am-1pm.
