FUSS (Free UniformS for School) Request (SAC recommended)

Organisation Description

FUSS supplies good quality reused school uniform free of charge and regardless of family circumstances. We also aim to recycle or waste prevent all items donated to us that we cannot pass on for regular use. FUSS works throughout Wirral and parts of Cheshire and Lancashire, through a series of church-based and free shop hubs, staffed by around 30 volunteers and one part time coordinator. FUSS offers an online request option as well as drop-in sessions at our hubs. We supply uniform for around 120 different schools. In 2022/23 we responded to over 4750 requests from families, gave away over 26000 clothing items and waste prevented nearly 11 Tonnes of excess clothing.
