Glasgow reuse of uniforms considered amid cost of living crisis
At a recent full council meeting, Cllr Blair Anderson, Greens, asked the city’sconvener, Cllr Christina Cannon, SNP, for an update on work to promote school uniform reuse in Glasgow.
“Cutting down on clothing emissions is good for the climate but also reusing uniforms is good for families’ budgets,” he said. He highlighted work by Glasgow City Parents Group with social enterprise ApparelXchange on a uniform reuse project, and asked the education convener to “agree in principle to introducing a citywide strategy to make sure every child in every school has the ability to benefit from a school uniform”.
Cllr Cannon said she was happy to reiterate a commitment within the council’s strategic plan to explore “citywide uniform reuse”. Climate conference COP26 had “provided a vehicle for our schools to engage in further discussion around this issue”, she added, with reuse projects “part of ongoing dialogue and learning for all”.
“It’s very much at the heart of our school uniform policy as well,” the education convener said, adding she was meeting with ApparelXchange and Glasgow City Parents Group.
