How you can help

Our 2021 SmartStart Appeal officially starts on 7th June and there are many ways you can help us to supply children with the things they need to go to school. You can:
 
  • Donate new school uniform including school trousers and skirts, shirts, blouses, polos and sweatshirts (ages 4-16). You can also donate other new school items like stationery, backpacks and sports kit to be delivered directly to us from the retailer. 
  • We can also accept brand new donations at the door from 7th June and we are based at 26 Wood Street, Manchester M3 3EF. 
  • Make a financial donation below. Your donations enable us to keep offering our services to families that need them.
In order to meet the cost of sending their children to school many families cut back on other day to day basics or get into debt which affects the quality of their lives. SmartStart aims to alleviate the pressure of cost when it comes to sending children to school. Every child deserves the opportunity to fit in and achieve at school and together we can provide the right start.
  

Uniform

We provide non-branded school uniforms to children. This ensures they have appropriate and well-fitted uniforms to attend school and get their education.

Sports Kit

It is important to be able to exercise and be healthy so we provide sports kit for children to partake in school and extra-curricular sports activities.

Stationery

We provide stationery for children for school so they are properly equipped for the classroom and ready to learn when they get to school.
