Allison Hopton, PT Family Learning, Auchenharvie Academy:
“We try to run it so that you click a button, and the uniform appears at your door. We’re doing it to make the families’ lives easier.”
The uniform station is run weekly by parent/carer volunteers, who do most of the clothes laundering and running the station.
Recently a new online form for parents/carers has been introduced to enable requests for clothing to be made without visiting the school. Items are then delivered to families’ homes by parent volunteers or staff members. This new approach has seen an increase in the use of the station by the school community and supporting more families. The school are keen to monitor use over the next six months, to evaluate the impact of the additional new approach.
