Why we need your help
Demand for our grants are extremely high. We need your help to give financially vulnerable children of families in our sector the best start at school.
Together, we can fund vital school uniform for the children of UK fashion and textile workers and prevent more families from falling further into financial difficulty.
What is the impact of our school uniform grants?
By supporting our school uniform campaign, you’re giving a lifeline to parents and caregivers who desperately need our help.

“This time of year is usually very stressful as we try to gather the funds to get all the uniform needed. Thanks to FTCT this year it has been one less stress and worry.”- Parent supported by an FTCT school uniform grant
The difference you could make
We hope to raise £10,000 through our appeal. As a small charity, our grants team are able to send funds directly to the families in need. Plus, we are proud to say that 100% of donations go towards funding our grants.
Here's what that could help to buy

“School uniform can be a huge cost for families who are in financially vulnerable situations. A school uniform seems like a simple thing, but for children it can make a huge difference. It’s the difference between blistered feet and comfortable shoes for growing feet. It’s the difference between getting teased and fitting in. It’s the difference between getting sent home and getting a full day of learning.” Anna Pangbourne, CEO
