Sat, 09 Aug 2025 Uniform swap gets bigger venue due to popularity

The Great Big Hornsea Uniform Swap was held at East Riding Leisure Hornsea.

* Organisers had to move from parish hall to larger venue due to overwhelming number of donations and attendees.
* Parents and carers can pick up free primary and secondary school uniforms, with items donated by schools and community members.
* The event was seen as a way to "save the environment" and help families struggling with the cost of living.
* Average cost of a school uniform is around £340 for primaries and £454 for secondaries, but attendees can get theirs for free.
* Many parents praised the initiative, saying it would otherwise have ended up in landfill and helped them save money.
