Riverside Inn School Uniform Drive
Our School uniform drive is complete for another year.
As our team works hard to get your donations to charities and schools across the UK, we'll be totalling up how many pieces of uniform you donated this year! Last year, Wacky warehouses across the country collected over 2000 pieces of uniform for children all over the country.

Why do we do our school uniform drive?
Research revealed that 45% of parents and guardians will struggle to pay for their child’s new uniform this year, up from four in ten parents (40%) in 2023. What’s more, two thirds of caregivers (66%) say school uniform is the costliest expense around the back to school season, with an average spend on uniform of £161 per child.
To represent the size of the issue, and significant struggles of parents and guardians across the UK, Wacky Warehouse created a giant mural of a child in school uniform, made from hundreds of kids uniform pieces that will form the first donation at Wacky Warehouse’s ‘Donation Stations’ across the nation. This 15-foot mural was featured at the iconic Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
