Marlborough College

Outgrown, not used up.

The jumper your child grew out of last term is exactly what another family is about to buy new. Pass it on instead — uniform and books, free to a good home.

Nothing here is for sale. If you take something and would like to give back, the College charity would welcome a donation.

An estimate, based on typical replacement costs of £12 a uniform item and £6 a book.

How it works

  1. 1

    List what you have finished with

    Snap a photo of the jumper or the book, add the size or the author, and put it on the board. It takes a minute.

  2. 2

    Another parent asks for it

    You get the request and decide. Only once you say yes do the two of you swap contact details — nothing is public.

  3. 3

    Hand it over at the gate

    Arrange a time that suits you both. Mark it collected, and that is that. No money changes hands.

Have a bag of uniform in the hall cupboard?

That is where most of this starts. It costs you nothing to pass it on, and it saves another family a trip to the uniform shop.
