RESIDENTS in Stratford are being called on to donate good quality, pre-loved school uniform to help local families in need to prepare for the new school year. Orbit will then have all the donations professionally cleaned before redistributing them to local families over the summer. Orbit spokesperson Laura Read said: “We hope to help ease the financial pressure many households face by redistributing gently used uniforms to local families. Donations will be collected and organised over the summer, ensuring children return to school in September feeling confident and ready to learn. The uniform donation point will be open between 10am and 2pm.
