School Uniform Recycling Toolkit 2023

Download Infographic Report

The Southern Area Locality Planning Team have produced an Infographic to report on the impact of this year’s School Uniform Recycling Toolkit. This free resource was produced to provide a user friendly, free, practical guide for schools and community groups to use in order to hold a successful school uniform recycling scheme. We provided checklists for discussions, templates to use, tips which shared good practice, and evaluation forms which we collated to produce individual reports for each initiative.

11 schools and groups used the Toolkit during 2023 and send completed feedback forms to demonstrate the effectiveness of the resource.

We had around 1,250 items donated totalling a value of over £8,000. These items were successfully recycled across the Southern area.

If your school or group is interested in finding out more about this free resource, and how to avail of our support in 2024, please contact Darren  Curtis at localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk

Are you working with young women 16-30 years old who are not sure about their next step?

Explore+ is a new programme which is directed by each young person’s individual goals. They will progress into employment, training, education or volunteering by:

  • Completing progression-related qualification units
  • Building a CV
  • Fine-tuning their interview skills
  • Exploring sector-specific skills
  • Receiving tailored 1-2-1 progression support up until they take their next step!

Our Induction session will be held in centre on Wednesday 25th October from 10am – 1pm.

Next programme starts on Monday 30th October 10am.

This will be a female only programme.

 If you have any young men interested in participating please still get in touch, there will be another programme coming soon 😊

Our Explore+ programme will be based in our Belfast Centre (Unit 8a Weavers Court, Linfield Rd, BT12 5GH) Mon, Tues, Thurs, 10am – 3pm.

As long as the young person holds on to their bus/train ticket we will reimburse them each day. Our centre is less than a 5min walk from Great Victoria Street bus/train station.
