School Uniforms

Description

The construction firm delivering the University of Edinburgh’s new cutting-edge Edinburgh Futures Institute has generously donated school uniforms to a charity working with disadvantaged families.

The donation has been made to Edinburgh School Uniform Bank (ESUB), who provide clothing and other essentials such as stationery to families in the city who struggle to meet the rising costs of sending children to school.

Families referred to the charity for their support receive bespoke packs of new school uniform, whilst nearly-new items are given to schools and community groups.

In addition, seasonal appeals for clothing provide families with warm jackets, hats and gloves in the colder months.

Moreover, there is also a focus on other items that school children can benefit from – including durable, re-usable water bottles.

8 bags in total were collected from the EFI site, which will be given to families facing a range of challenges.

Duncan Gardner, Social Impact Manager, said: “It’s always tough to hear about some of the stories from organisations such as ESUB. As a company and as a site team we are only too happy to get together and make a difference to charities in the areas we are operating”
