Stockport’s 50p school uniform pop-up shop returns

The 50p school uniform shop is returning for a fourth year at The Stockport PopUp Shop in Merseyway Shopping Centre.

The pop-up shop will run from Friday 8th – Friday 15th August, selling second-hand items of uniform for just 50p each, with all proceeds going to charity! This fantastic initiative enables local families to kit out their children ahead of the new school year without breaking the bank.

Last year saw more than 6,000 pre-loved items sold in total with £400 raised on the first day alone. Overall, the initiative generated £1,200 for local charities including Chelwood Foodbank and Stockport arts and mental health charity, Arc.

With the cost of school uniforms averaging between £250 and £400 per child, this service provides vital relief to families facing financial strain while keeping useable school wear out of landfill.

Victoria Nichol, Centre Manager at Merseyway said:

“We’re proud to be hosting this initiative for a fourth year in Merseyway. It’s a simple way for the community to come together and make a difference, whether that’s by donating items they no longer need, picking up affordable school essentials, or helping to reduce clothing waste in Stockport.”
