UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

## Message from the Chair of Trustees 

As Chair of Trustees, it is both a privilege and a heartfelt responsibility to introduce this annual report, reflecting on a year marked by extraordinary dedication, growth, and resilience within Uniform Exchange and our Kirklees community. 

In 2024, our services have remained steadfast supported over 11,000 children, close to double the number helped just two years ago. The demand for our support continues in the face of a rising costs that continues to cast a shadow across the UK, placing tremendous pressure on vulnerable households and stretching the capacity of charities nationwide. Despite these challenges, our team of staff and more than 30 volunteers have risen to the task. With our volunteers gifting 12,000 hours of service, a testament to the heart and commitment that define Uniform Exchange. 

A highlight of this year was receiving The King’s Award for Voluntary Service, the UK’s highest honour for community and voluntary organisations, recognising the outstanding contribution of our volunteers and the transformative impact of our work on the lives of children and families. Such recognition amplifies our mission and energises our collective ambition to ensure every child can attend school with pride. 

Uniform Exchange’s zero-waste, circular economy model has enabled us to divert over 50 tonnes of clothing from landfill, while our project like Sustainable Exchange has engaged 23 schools and delivered more than 55 pop-up events, reshaping how communities view and embrace reuse and sustainability. These efforts not only champion environmental responsibility but empower families to make “second-hand first choice,” reducing stigma and promoting inclusion. 

Nevertheless, the widespread financial strain in our sector is undeniable. National research shows that more than half of UK charities now worry about their ability to survive, as costs such as energy, rent, wages, and insurance rise sharply. At Uniform Exchange, we too have faced the realities of increased expenditure and fierce competition concerning grant funding. The sector is urged to innovate, and we have responded to this by expanding our charity shop, launching new fundraising initiatives, and investing in digital engagement and recurring giving to build diverse, sustainable income streams. Securing additional funds, whilst exploring new ways to generate revenue, will be central to our strategy in the coming year and beyond, ensuring we remain a lifeline for families in Kirklees. 

As trustees, we are profoundly grateful to every supporter, donor, volunteer, and partner whose generosity makes our work possible. Your belief in our mission allows us to adapt and thrive, even as the economic outlook remains uncertain. 


I’m extremely grateful to my fellow trustees for the dedication and commitment they have shown throughout this year. 

Kate France, our founder, has been, and will continue to be the driving force behind the charity. She is the heart and soul that underpins everything we seek to deliver as a charity and we are so grateful for her vision and passion to support families facing significant financial difficulties. 

Looking ahead to 2025, our pledge remains unshakeable; to deepen our partnerships, innovate our fundraising, and broaden our reach, so that together we create lasting change for future generations. 

Thank you for standing with us, for your faith in our vision, and for helping us empower children and families through compassion, community, and sustainability. 

KAREN HOBSON 

Chair of Trustees

UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

## Background 

In 2010, Kirklees Council's school uniform grant was removed without any alternative support being offered. The following year, inspired by compassion and a BBC documentary titled 'Poor Kids’, Kate France, the founder of Uniform Exchange (UE), embarked on a mission to make a difference in the lives of struggling families in Kirklees. The BBC documentary featured a young boy wearing his sister's hand-me-down uniform to school. Kate realised then there was a need for assistance in her community and sought to make a difference… prompting the Uniform Exchange initiative and the beginning of providing free school uniforms to local families facing financial difficulties. 

Amid growing demand, UE underwent a shift in 2017, transitioning to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with appointed trustees. The organisation celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2021, coinciding with the release of new statutory guidance for school uniforms in England. 

UE's experience highlighted the importance of school uniform access in easing the pressure on children from low-income families. However, challenges persisted as some schools maintained costly uniform lists. Despite these hurdles, Uniform Exchange remained committed to its mission, embodying a decade of resilience and dedication to supporting the Kirklees community. 

_Our vision is to make second-hand school uniform every parent’s first choice._ 

## Impact so far… 

In 2016, we delivered 540 bags of school uniforms to families. Fast forward to 2024 and that number of requests has surged to 7,800. We have interacted with families via a number of different was through requests, winter coat project, sustainable exchange project and school wardrobes. Through all these different initiatives we have supported 11,063 children.

UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

As we navigate the ongoing challenges of rising costs, our charitable effort in the community remains necessary. The levels of poverty aren’t changing, the ratio in Kirklees is still at 1:4 children, 1:3 in the most deprived areas of the area. 

While UE’s primary focus remains on assisting vulnerable families, we've also initiated a shift toward supporting environmental sustainability and encouraging all families to consider the environmental impact of purchasing a new school uniform, particularly when high-quality, second-hand alternatives can both save money and be far better for the environment, encouraging a circular economy. This strategic move aims to engage working families facing difficulties in seeking assistance or those who might perceive themselves as not meeting the conventional criteria for aid. 

Uniform Exchange has been providing school uniform support to families in Kirklees, West Yorkshire for thirteen years. We now work with 100% of the 182 schools across the locality and are dedicated to helping families and communities in need. The charity has developed connections with community groups, local agencies and schools in deprived areas throughout Kirklees, which has made it a valuable resource for social workers, teachers, key support workers, family workers, charities, school hubs and community centres. 

The charity has evolved over the years and its approach has developed through working closely with parents and schools. Uniform Exchange is committed to providing a service that meets the changing needs of the community and continually seeks new ideas and feedback. For example, in response to schools wanting to do more to support both parents and the environment, we have introduced the Sustainable Exchange schools project, offering pop-up shops and school rails. This initiative takes Uniform Exchange directly into schools to strengthen community engagement and accessibility. 

Uniform Exchange, committed to sustainability, operates as a zero-waste circular economy charity. All donations are reused, recycled or repurposed with nothing going to landfill. The charity receives around 40 tonnes of donations each year and continues to grow year on year. 

## Achievements and Performance 2024 

In 2024 Uniform Exchange has continued to offer a much-needed service to over 15% of children in education in Kirklees, reflecting our continued commitment to supporting children, families and the environment. 

Through the dedication of our trustees, staff, and volunteers, we have expanded our reach, strengthened community partnerships, and deepened our impact across Kirklees. Our work continues to tackle child poverty while promoting sustainability and responsible consumption.

## _The Sustainable Exchange Programme_ 

Our Sustainable Exchange initiative, launched in 2022 and has continued to grow as a key educational and community engagement programme. It promotes a “make second-hand first choice” ethos, encouraging schools, parents, and pupils to embrace reuse and sustainability while removing stigma associated with preloved clothing. 

In 2024 the programme achieved: 

- Engagement with 23 schools across Kirklees. 

- Delivery of 55 school-based and 11 community-based pop-up events. 

- Support for 1,323 children, redistributing 3,440 uniform items valued at £28,314.50. 

- Involvement of 46 pupil volunteers, supporting leadership, teamwork, and environmental citizenship. 

- Savings equivalent to 15,810 plastic bottles through textile reuse. 

- The programme continues to deliver measurable environmental and social benefits while inspiring the next generation to adopt sustainable habits. 

## _Volunteers and Community Engagement_ 

Volunteers remain at the heart of Uniform Exchange. In 2024, more than 30 regular volunteers and several corporate teams collectively contributed over 12,000 hours of service — equivalent to 1,500 working days. Their work spanned sorting, mending, stock management, administration, driving, and supporting school and community events. 

Corporate volunteer partners included Lloyds Bank, Thornton & Ross, and Cummins, whose teams participated in “Give a Day” volunteering schemes, strengthening links between local business and community. 

As we move into 2025, Uniform Exchange is in a strong position, supported by committed volunteers, valued partnerships, and sustainable growth plans. 

## _Partnerships and Recogniton_ 

Uniform Exchange continues to work collaboratively with Kirklees Council, maintaining its role as a locally trusted organisation and delivery partner for the Household Support Fund, which helps families struggling with the cost of living. We are also grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund, Utilita Energy, Cummins, Towngate PLC, and other funders whose financial and in-kind support have enabled us to expand our projects and infrastructure. 

In November 2024, Uniform Exchange was awarded The King’s Award for Voluntary Service, the UK’s highest honour for community and voluntary organisations. This recognition celebrates the exceptional dedication of our volunteers and highlights the significant role they play in improving the lives of local families. Award presented by the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire. 

## _Public Awareness and Growth_

Our social media channels and website have seen substantial growth, increasing engagement with donors, volunteers, and schools.

## Raising Awareness and Promoting Access for All 

Throughout 2024, Uniform Exchange strengthened its marketing and outreach to raise awareness, build partnerships, to ensure families across Kirklees know that free school uniform support is available when needed. Our communication efforts have continued to focus on increasing visibility among parents, schools, local councils, and local businesses, helping to grow both engagement and long-term sustainability. Our ongoing commitment to an “Access for All” approach has been central to everything we do. We have continued to remove the stigma around asking for help by sharing real stories from families and schools, demonstrating how access to free, good-quality school uniform restores dignity, confidence, and belonging for children. This inclusive approach continues to strengthen our reputation as a trusted community service and ensures that every child feels valued and supported.

UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

_Key achievements during the year:_ 

- Enhanced our digital communication channels, particularly Facebook, to promote services, share impact stories, and make access to support easier through our online forms. 

- Expanded our contact database, enabling stronger links with schools, child support networks, and local authority and charity partners. 

- Grew our _Sustainable Exchange_ programme, increasing the number of schools involved and improving parent engagement in uniform reuse and sustainability. 

- Strengthened outreach through partnerships with schools, community organisations and faith groups to ensure that our support reached families facing financial hardship. 

- Increased volunteer involvement in communication, with volunteers helping to share social media updates and community event information. 

These efforts have significantly improved awareness of our service across Kirklees, ensuring that more families know where to turn for help and reinforcing Uniform Exchange’s role as a cornerstone of community support, sustainability, and inclusion. 

## Environmental Change and Waste Reduction 

Uniform Exchange continues to operate as a zero-waste, circular economy charity, reusing, recycling, or repurposing every donation to prevent usable items from going to landfill. During 2024, our zero waste approach has enabled us to divert over 50 tonnes of clothing from landfill, ensuring that thousands of children received good-quality, pre-loved uniforms. 

Our skilled mending team repaired hundreds of logo items and garments with minor imperfections, extending their life and reducing the need for new production. Items that couldn’t be reused were recycled responsibly through our partnership with Oxfam’s managed rag programme, with around 15 tonnes processed this year — fully aligning with our sustainability objectives. 

We also redistributed around half a tonne of non-uniform items through our charity shop and partner organisations supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and families in crisis. 

Prevention remains at the core of our environmental approach. Approximately 54% of all items received are reused directly, 8% are cleaned or refurbished, and 37% are recycled due to staining or irreparable damage. 


9 



UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

_Throughout 2024, we have contnued to:_ 

- Increase our network of donation points across Kirklees, making it easier for families to contribute. 

- Grow our mending and repair team, extending the lifespan of hundreds of school uniforms. 

- Expand the Sustainable Exchange programme, engaging more schools and promoting a culture of reuse. 

- Collaborate with Kirklees Council’s Environmental Strategy and support their _“Closing the Loop”_ ambition to grow the sharing economy and achieve _Zero Avoidable Waste by 2038._ 

Uniform Exchange remains committed to leading the way locally in waste reduction and sustainability, proving that small actions, when multiplied across a community, can make a significant environmental difference. 


## Uniform Requests and Donations 

Uniform Exchange continues to operate on a strong reuse ethos, ensuring that every school uniform item donated is given a new life wherever possible. Most school clothing still has plenty of wear left after children grow out of it — providing high-quality, sustainable alternatives that save families money and reduce environmental waste. 

Our zero-waste model ensure that, all donated items are sorted into three categories: reused, recycled, or repurposed. We rely on the generosity of Kirklees families, schools, and businesses to pass on outgrown uniforms and lost property, creating a thriving circular economy that benefits both people and the planet. 

## _We have delivered over 30,000 bags of school uniform since 2011._ 

10 



UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 


## _Donatons_ 

In 2024, we received 50 tonnes of school uniform donations, 20% of the donations are unsuitable for our purposes and are redirected to other reuse and recycling organisations. Our collection network has continued to expand, with donation points across schools, supermarkets, libraries, leisure centres, and community hubs. Partnerships with local organisations — including Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, Co-op stores, shopping centres, and supermarkets — have further strengthened our reach and visibility. 

Promotion through PR, social media, and community communications has encouraged more families to donate, with our work regularly featured across BBC Radio Leeds, local newspapers, and the Kirklees residents’ newsletter. We continue to welcome donations of all school-related items, from polo shirts to swimwear, in any condition, to support our zero-waste commitment. 

## _Stock Management_ 

All donations are sorted and checked for quality by our dedicated staff and volunteers. Reusable items are washed, folded, and neatly organised, while unsuitable items are recycled responsibly through our partnership with Oxfam’s sustainable rag programme. In 2024, over 40 tonnes of uniform items were prepared for redistribution, supported by an improved stock management system that tracks around 75,000 clothing items by size, school, and type. 

Our expanded Sustainable Exchange programme has helped strengthen relationships with schools, encouraging ongoing uniform donations and greater parent participation in the circular economy. 

11 



UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

## _Request Processing_ 

Demand for our service continues to grow, with more than 7,000 online requests for free school uniform received in 2024. Since introducing our app-based referral form, access has become faster and easier, with 99% of requests now submitted online. 

Referrals come from parents, schools, social workers, local charities, and council-led initiatives including the Kirklees Poverty Partnership and Families Together Partnership. These networks ensure that families most in need can access support quickly and discreetly. 

## _Delivery_ 

Once packed, each order is tagged and delivered by our collection and delivery team. Deliveries are made to schools, libraries, community hubs, or directly to families’ homes — typically within seven days, or up to three weeks during the busy summer period. Urgent requests continue to be prioritised. Each delivery includes a note encouraging families to reapply as their children grow, helping maintain the cycle of reuse and ensuring families remain supported throughout the year. 

## _Contnuing Our Impact_ 

Through 2024, we have worked to deepen school and community partnerships to increase donations and engagement. With around 65,000 children in the Kirklees education system, our work now supports approximately 10% of all pupils — keeping school uniform in circulation, out of landfill, and in the hands of children who need it most. 

Uniform Exchange continues to champion reuse, reduce waste, and ensure that every child in Kirklees can go to school feeling confident, equal, and ready to learn. 

## Stability and Financial Growth 

## _Finance_ 

Uniform Exchange has maintained a diverse funding base, combining grants, community donations, corporate partnerships, fundraising activities, and charity shop proceeds. This balance ensures independence from any single source and builds long-term resilience. 

_Key funding achievements and progress during 2024 included:_ 

- Securing £22,500 from Cummins as match funding towards our new electric delivery van, supporting our zero-emission operations. 

- Receiving £70,000 from Kirklees Council to provide coats and warm clothing for children in need. 

- Raising additional funds through community events, local business partnerships, and the Giant Cash Bonanza Lottery. 

- Launching and expanding our Uniform Exchange Supporters Club, helping to establish a base of regular donors. 

- Generating sustainable income through our charity shop, which continues to support operational costs and public engagement. 

To protect long-term financial health, the charity maintains a reserves policy aiming for approximately 3–6 months of running costs, providing stability through fluctuating funding periods. 

_We continue to review and adapt our funding strategy to maintain diversity and growth. Our priorities include:_ 

- Expanding corporate sponsorships and partnership programmes. 

- Developing additional self-generated income streams through small-scale trading and community initiatives. 

- Strengthening relationships with funders through regular reporting and clear demonstration of impact. 

12 



UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

- Continuing to evidence our social and environmental value, ensuring transparency and trust with donors. 

## Volunteers and Stafng 

Uniform Exchange could not operate without the extraordinary contribution of its volunteers. In 2024, our volunteers donated over 12,000 hours of time, equivalent to more than 1,500 working days. 

## _Volunteers play an active role across every area of the organisation, including:_ 

- Sorting and preparing donated uniform for reuse. 

- Repairing and sewing items to extend their life. 

- Driving and supporting uniform collections and deliveries. 

- Running the charity shop and supporting community pop-up events. 

- Helping to deliver our Sustainable Exchange school engagement programme. 

- A team of professionals also volunteer their time and expertise to ensure we maintain a high standard this includes our health and safety adviser, first aid training and social media support. 

A small team of part-time staff coordinates day-to-day operations, manages safeguarding, logistics, and partnerships, and supports volunteers in their roles. 

_We continue to focus on volunteer engagement and retention through:_ 

- Offering clear training, guidance, and a positive volunteer experience. 

- Providing flexible volunteering options, including “Give a Day” opportunities for corporate teams. 

- Encouraging young volunteers through school partnerships, promoting learning around sustainability and community action. 

- Recognising contributions through regular appreciation events and communication. 

Volunteers are the heart of Uniform Exchange. Their dedication enables the charity to deliver high-quality support efficiently and cost-effectively, while also providing them with new skills, confidence, and a sense of community purpose.

UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

## _Premises_ 

Uniform Exchange operates from several business units in Lockwood, Huddersfield, totalling around 4,000 sq ft, where we sort, store, and distribute school uniform. We also manage a small charity shop and storage unit on site. 

As the charity continues to grow, our existing facilities have reached capacity, particularly during peak summer months. This has created challenges around storage, workflow, and efficiency. 

In response, our trustees have begun discussions with the landlord about constructing a larger 5,000 sq ft unit on the existing site. Combined with the retention of our current larger unit, this will provide approximately 6,000 sq ft of operational space. 

_Important considerations for the next phase include:_ 

- Evaluating the financial implications of construction and fit-out. 

- Assessing the impact on efficiency and logistics. 

- Designing the space to improve workflow, accessibility, and volunteer coordination. 

This expansion will allow us to consolidate operations, reduce inefficiencies, and create a more welcoming, functional space for both staff and volunteers — ensuring Uniform Exchange is fit for the future. 

_A quote from one of the local school children “We talked about how it is a far more sustainable option to donate old uniform items to friends, family members or the Uniform Exchange donation box in our school because it would otherwise end up in a landfill which could mean more plastic eventually ending up in our rivers and seas.”_ 

## Educate School Children to make “Second Hand First Choice”. 

## _Sustainable Exchange_ 

Uniform Exchange continues to deliver on its vision of “making second-hand first choice” by promoting a circular economy for school uniforms across Kirklees. The Sustainable Exchange programme, launched in 2022, remains a vital part of this mission — embedding sustainability, education, and inclusion directly within schools and communities. 

The programme educates children, schools, and parents on the importance of reusing and recycling school uniforms by passing clothing on to others. By encouraging a _make second-hand first choice_ ethos, Sustainable Exchange helps to reduce stigma for families who may struggle to afford new uniforms, while also promoting environmental responsibility and shared community action. 


14 



UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

_In 2024 , Sustainable Exchange continued to expand its reach and deepen its impact across Kirklees:_ 

- 3,440 school uniform items redistributed through school and community events. 

- Families collectively saved an estimated £28,314.50 in clothing costs. 

- 23 schools engaged with the programme. 

- 55 school-based events and 11 community-based events were delivered. 

- 1,323 children supported with free, high-quality school uniform. 

- Environmental impact equivalent to saving 15,810 plastic bottles from landfill. 

These achievements demonstrate how the programme continues to create lasting change by educating, empowering, and enabling local families to make sustainable choices that benefit both the community and the environment. 

_The project continues to:_ 

- Educate children, staff, and parents about the environmental and financial benefits of reuse. 

- Support schools to run pop-up uniform shops and community events in collaboration with pupils and eco teams. 

- Empower students to lead by example, taking on ambassador roles and promoting sustainability across their schools.

   - Supporting more school and community pop-up events. 

   - Delivering sustainability talks at assemblies and eco group meetings.

UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

## Income Streams and Fundraising Activities 

Uniform Exchange continues to strengthen and diversify its income base to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience. While grants and local authority partnerships remain our primary sources of funding, 2024 has seen significant growth in income generated through our charity shop, community fundraising, and events. The charity continues to pursue a balanced approach between earned income, grant funding, and community support, ensuring that financial stability underpins our mission to provide free school uniforms to families in need across Kirklees. 

## _Charity Shop_ 

Our Uniform Exchange Charity Shop, based at our Lockwood premises, has become an increasingly valuable asset, both financially and as a hub for community engagement. The shop continues to attract a growing following, drawing in local families who are passionate about sustainability and affordability. 

The shop operates three days a week, offering high-quality pre-loved clothing, footwear, and accessories at affordable prices. One of the most successful initiatives has been our monthly “Fill a Bag for a Fiver” day, which not only boosts sales but also promotes the circular economy ethos that defines Uniform Exchange. We also hold seasonal giveaway months, providing families with essential items such as coats, wellies, and winter warmers at no cost. These initiatives ensure that support is accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstance. 

Looking ahead to 2025, we aim to: 

- Increase shop opening days from three to five per week. 

- Host regular fundraising events in the shop, including raffles, tombolas, and themed sale days. 

- Take the shop “on the road” by attending local markets, school fairs, and community events to raise both funds and awareness. 

- Continue to expand our loyal customer base through targeted marketing, local partnerships, and community presence. 

Our charity shop is now recognised not only as a fundraising space but as a community wellbeing hub, where families can find support, volunteers can engage in purposeful work, and the values of sustainability and dignity are demonstrated in action. 

## _Online Sales and Digital Presence_ 

In addition to the physical shop, Uniform Exchange has developed an online presence through Vinted, where selected items are sold to raise funds for the charity. This initiative both extends the lifespan of donated items and allows the charity to reach a wider audience interested in ethical shopping and sustainable fashion. 

Our digital fundraising presence also includes social media appeals, promoting events, and showcasing the tangible impact of community donations. With continued volunteer support in digital marketing, this is an area of ongoing growth. 

## _Seasonal and Annual Campaigns_ 

Our annual Christmas projects have become a cherished part of the local community calendar. Each year, the Uniform Exchange Gift Tree provides hundreds of children from struggling families with small gifts and essentials at Christmas, donated by local residents, businesses, and community partners. 

The Christmas Extravaganza fundraising event—supported by local partners such as Cummins—combines community spirit with practical fundraising, helping to generate additional income and awareness for our winter coat campaign. These seasonal events not only raise vital funds but also build partnerships with local businesses and volunteers who often continue their support throughout the year.

## _Grants and Funding Partners_ 

Uniform Exchange continues to receive support from a range of public and private funders, each contributing to specific aspects of our work. 

## In 2024, funding was received from: 

- Kirklees Council, via the Household Support Fund (HSF) – a central government initiative designed to help families in financial hardship. As a trusted local delivery partner, Uniform Exchange receives HSF funding directly to provide school uniform and winter clothing for children across the borough. This partnership has been crucial in meeting the sharp rise in demand during the cost-of-living crisis. 

- The National Lottery Community Fund, supporting the continued expansion of our Sustainable Exchange project, promoting environmental education and school-based uniform reuse. 

- Utilita Energy, who funded the purchase of storage equipment, improving efficiency and operational capacity at our warehouse. 

- Cummins, who continue to be a strong corporate partner, most notably through their community grant support for our upcoming electric van replacement project. 

- Wynsors Huddersfield, Thornton & Ross (STADA) and ONE17 Design and a range of smaller local businesses, who have contributed through both financial support and in-kind donations. 

While these grant sources remain vital, the trustees recognise that they are often time-limited and competitive, and therefore cannot be relied upon indefinitely. The charity continues to invest in a professional grant writer, retained on a monthly basis, who submits up to three applications per month and actively seeks out new opportunities for funding. Despite an increasing number of rejections due to sector-wide funding constraints, this proactive approach has ensured a steady pipeline of applications and maintained our visibility with key funders. 

## _Lotery and Regular Giving_ 

Uniform Exchange participates in the Giant Cash Bonanza Lottery, providing an opportunity for regular supporters to contribute through a fun and rewarding scheme. While uptake has been lower than anticipated, plans are in place to increase visibility and engagement through local promotion, social media, and in-shop marketing. 

Looking to 2025, we are also exploring the introduction of a monthly Bonus Ball scheme, linked to the National Lottery, as a simple, community-based way of generating regular income. 

In addition, the charity continues to welcome individual and business donations, though levels have been lower than expected this year. With the support of our marketing volunteers, we intend to relaunch our Supporters Club and strengthen our outreach to local businesses and community groups to build sustained financial partnerships. 

## _Looking Ahead_ 

The trustees recognise that long-term sustainability will depend on creating reliable self-generated income streams alongside successful grant funding. Over the next 12 months, we aim to: 

- Expand our charity shop and events-based fundraising activities. 

- Increase regular giving through both community and business engagement. 

- Continue to develop relationships with funders, local government and corporate partners. 

- Explore new earned-income opportunities that align with our values and capacity. 

While challenges remain, Uniform Exchange continues to operate with a clear focus on financial prudence, transparency and sustainability. Each income stream, whether from grants, retail or community giving, contributes directly to our ability to deliver essential support to families in need, promote environmental responsibility and ensure that every child in Kirklees can access the school uniform they deserve.

UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

## Financial Review 

In 2024, the charity successfully raised a total of £286,867. Our income increased substantially compared to the previous year, largely due to funding made available in response to the cost-of-living crisis. These funds were specifically used to support those families facing economic vulnerability during the school summer holidays and colder winter months. This included providing school uniforms, shoes, warm coats, and essential items such as underwear. 

A significant portion of this income £162,500, was received from Kirklees Council through the Household Support Fund, a resource established to assist vulnerable individuals and families with rising living expenses. We received over £90,000 in other grants from a range of trusts and foundations. Unrestricted income continued to grow steadily, with our charity shop sales and charitable donations exceeding £24,000. 

Total expenditure for the period amounted to £253,582, driven by expanded activities aimed at meeting the increased needs arising from the cost-of-living crisis. Staffing costs also rose significantly as demand for our services grew, reflecting the considerable increase in families facing financial hardship, across the locality.

UNIFORM EXCHANGE ANNUAL REPORT 2024 

## _Reserves Policy_ 

As of December 31, 2024, the charity’s unrestricted reserves were £72,119 equivalent to 6 months of unrestricted expenditure on charitable activities. Restricted funds are at £72,081 held only as long as necessary to facilitate the associated activities, with the expectation that these funds are typically spent within twelve months of receipt. The charity seeks to hold at least six months running costs, however with the rising costs the ability to maintain six month reserves is becoming more of a challenge. Nevertheless, the trustees impetus to raise additional unrestricted funds will be a priority through 2025/2026. 

## _Post-Balance Sheet Events_ 

No significant matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial period that would materially affect the charity's operations, the results of these operations, or its financial position in the year following the period ending December 31, 2024.

## Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities 

The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing an annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). They are tasked with ensuring that the financial statements for each year provide a true and fair view of the charitable company's affairs, as well as the inflow and outflow of resources. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees must: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

|**Recognition of income**<br>**Settlement of insurance**<br>**claims**<br>Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria<br>are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the<br>SoFA.<br>Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when<br>receivable.<br>**Support costs**<br>The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.<br>**Volunteer help**<br>Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the<br>expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from<br>other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.  On its<br>sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the<br>proceeds from  sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.<br>Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and<br>included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.<br>The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the<br>trustees’ annual report.<br>These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:<br>• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;<br>·       it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and<br>• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.<br>**Donated goods**<br>**Contractual income and**<br>**performance related**<br>**grants**<br>**Offsetting**<br>There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or<br>permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.<br>**Grants and donations**<br>Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition<br>criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).<br>This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services<br>or met the performance related conditions.<br>Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be<br>exchanged) unless impractical to do so.  In practice the charity has used the amount saved by<br>parents receiving the goods as a materially correct estimate of the fair value / replacement<br>cost.<br>In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that<br>the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only<br>occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).<br>**Legacies**<br>Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been<br>grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate<br>and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have<br>been met.<br>**Government grants**<br>The charity has received government grants in the reporting period<br>**Tax reclaims on**<br>**donations and gifts**<br>Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.  Any<br>Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as<br>an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal<br>have specified otherwise.<br>Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with<br>an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.<br>The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the<br>fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.  In the<br>reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the<br>carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.<br>**Donated services and**<br>**facilities**<br>Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift<br>to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.<br>This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any<br>gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.<br>**Income from interest,**<br>**royalties and dividends**<br>This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be<br>measured reliably.<br>**Income from membership**<br>**subscriptions**<br>Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and<br>Legacies.<br>Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits<br>are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from<br>charitable activities.<br>**Investment gains and**<br>**losses**|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|

The depreciation rates and methods used as<br>disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.<br>**Liability recognition**<br>Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive<br>obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be<br>measured with reasonable certainty.<br>The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph<br>11.7 FRS102 SORP.  Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19,<br>FRS102 SORP.<br>**Tangible fixed assets for**<br>**use by charity**<br>The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.<br>**Governance  and support**<br>**costs**<br>Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.<br>Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its<br>compliance with regulation and good practice.<br>Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on<br>a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per<br>capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.<br>They are valued at cost.<br>**Investments**<br>Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at<br>initially at cost  and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end.

These include cash on deposit and cash<br>equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet<br>short term cash commitments as they fall due.<br>They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.|<br> <br>|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|Yes<br>No<br>N/a|
