Free pre-loved uniform service - non-profit organisation.
The Mall, Kennet Centre, Newbury
Updates
Posted on Sep 11, 2023
The store at the Kennet Centre will be open one or two days a month from Sept to February - details will be shared here. A full stock take will take place by 14th Sept. After this date, if you need anything, get in touch and if we have it we'll arrange collection.
What does TUXchange offer?
Our aim is to provide FREE, previously loved, school uniform for children aged 3 – 16yrs
Why are we doing
this?
School uniform is expensive. So many families report that they get into more debt buying uniform for the start of the school year than they do at Christmas.
This free school uniform service is here to help reduce those hefty bills and save many items going to landfill by recycling them.

Accessibility of second
hand uniform
We know that most schools organise their own second hand
sales or even have their own on-site shops and we encourage you to use these to help boost their funding.
But if you can't access these services due to their limited opening times then please get in touch.

How does is it work?
This is a FREE school uniform service for Newbury and Thatcham.
It's not a strict exchange, you don't need to bring clothes in to take new ones away.
Simply pop into the store at the Kennet Centre and take what you need for your little ones. If you are able to make a small monetary donation then please do as this will help cover costs.
