School Uniform Saving Scheme: Supporting Families Year-Round
At Vineyard Compassion, we are delighted to announce the continuation of our school uniform savings stamp scheme for the third consecutive year. This initiative is designed to help parents and carers manage the cost of school uniforms by spreading out the expense over the year, thereby reducing financial stress as the new school term approaches.
Our scheme is straightforward and user-friendly. Parents and carers can purchase saving stamps at £5 each from The Hope Centre reception, open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm. These stamps are collected on a savings card, which can be redeemed at participating local school uniform retailers, Heart & Home and S&T Moore. When it’s time to buy uniforms, simply use the accumulated stamps to cover the cost, and we will reimburse the retailers directly.
Melanie Gibson, who oversees the scheme, tells us: “We’ve seen firsthand how this scheme eases the financial burden on families. It’s wonderful to witness the relief and gratitude from parents who can budget more effectively for their children’s school needs. Our partnership with Heart & Home and S&T Moore has been crucial in making this possible, and we are committed to supporting our community in this way.”
The heart behind the school uniform savings stamp scheme is to provide a practical solution for families with school-aged children, making the purchase of essential uniforms more manageable. By spreading the cost throughout the year, parents can avoid the last-minute financial strain that often accompanies the start of a new school term.
We encourage all families in need of support to participate in this beneficial scheme and stamp and save with us! Join us in making school uniform shopping a stress-free experience, ensuring every child starts their school year with confidence and pride.
