Back-to-School Uniform Drive

Swap, Share & Support: Our Back-to-School Uniform Drive at 17&Central

As September approaches, wardrobes start whispering tales of outgrown sleeves and scuffed shoes. It’s the perfect time to give those gently used school uniforms a second life—and help another family get ready for the new year.

That’s why we’re thrilled to launch our School Uniform Drive at 17&Central, turning hand-me-downs into heartfelt help.

What You Can Do

  • Donate: Share uniforms your child has outgrown.
  • Swap: Pick a pre-loved uniform from our Swap Rail to take home.
  • No uniform to swap? No problem—Pick a pre-loved uniform and make a donation to our Charity of the YearWaltham Forest Samaritans, and support the mental health and wellbeing of our community.

📍 Where & When: Find us at the Guest Services Reception, just down the corridor from Black Sheep Coffee.

  • 🕘 Open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM
  • ⏸ Closed daily from 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM

Whether you’re passing it on or picking one up, you're creating a ripple of kindness that goes far beyond the school gates. Let’s make going back to school a little easier, more sustainable—and filled with community spirit.
