Autism Jersey has partnered with Marks and Spencer Jersey in a joint campaign that will save on the cost of purchasing new school uniforms for some families and help other families obtain good quality used school uniforms at a greatly reduced price.
The idea is that families can go into Autism Jersey’s Boutique shop at 13 The Parade and donate their old (but still wearable) school uniforms to the charity. In return, a 10% off new school uniform voucher will be given to use in the M&S King Street store. The donated uniforms will be processed by Autism Jersey volunteers who will ensure the donated stock is in good condition, clean and well presented.
Lesley Harrison, Head of Charitable Services said: “We are delighted to be able to work with the team at M&S Jersey to support those with school age children and help make their money go a little further in the current financial climate. We’re also delighted this scheme will be supporting our ethical and environmental values through the recycling of pre-loved clothing through our Autism Jersey Boutique.”
Caroline Slowey – Dickinson, Managing Director M&S Jersey and iQ added: “We are excited to partner with Autism Jersey again on this inspiring initiative, which reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting local charities, children, and the environment. This scheme not only promotes sustainability through recycling but also makes school uniforms more accessible and affordable for families across our island. We encourage everyone to get involved and help make a meaningful difference—together, we can turn simple actions into lasting impact”.
