Cwmcarn Primary School preloved uniform items

We’re delighted to host a rail of pre-loved school uniforms for our local primary school.


Every purchase helps support the school, with all proceeds going directly back into providing valuable resources for the children. Funds raised can help purchase playground equipment, support school activities, and even subsidise transport costs for school trips, helping to keep them affordable for families.


Thank you for supporting our local school and community while giving school uniforms a second life.


Summary of opening times:

Monday 5pm - 8pm

Tuesday 6.30pm - 8.30pm

Saturday 10am - 12pm


The rail will also be available for the next Eco Market on the 29th August - 11am - 2pm
