PTAs to stage school uniform swap and share event

The town's two primary schools are joining forces to stage a second-hand uniform pop-up event.

The aim of the initiative next month is to keep clothes from landfill and help save families a few pounds. 

On Friday April 12 Ysgol Y Gwernant PTFA and Ysgol Bryn Collen PTA are teaming up with Hwb Cymunedol Pengwern to hold the after-school uniform swap outside the school gates from 2.45 - 3.45pm. 

Organisers say families are invited to bring any unwanted school uniform in good condition, and/or take any items that they can use. Items can be taken without bringing anything. 

Cash donations will be welcomed to help support the good work of both Llangollen primary schools. 

Donations of girls and boys school uniform, including school shoes and PE kit, will also be gratefully accepted by both schools in the week prior to the event, or dropped off with Jen at Hwb Pengwern LL20 8BB (phone 01490 266004 for Hwb opening times).
