Marks & Spencer expands long-standing Shwopping partnership with Oxfam for the Back-to-School season with dedicated school uniform Shwop boxes in over 200 stores across the UK

• It’s the first time a national retailer, Oxfam, and eBay have come together to pilot the sale of school uniform through a pre-loved eBay school uniform shop
• The trio are calling on consumers to donate their hand-me-down quality school uniform into M&S Shwop boxes this summer
• Sourcing and making products that are too good to waste is core to Plan A – M&S’ sustainability programme
• Sparks customers donating their pre-loved school uniform into one of the Shwop boxes will also receive 20% off selected kids’ clothing at M&S* *Offer cannot be used on discounted items, babywear, accessories, footwear, nightwear, underwear, school uniform and hosiery. Not valid in outlets
  
  The only request is the clothing be of at least “hand-me-down quality”. Those who take part receive a 20% off selected kids’ ranges voucher via M&S’s Sparks loyalty card. Any profits go to Oxfam.

Today (Monday 3 July) Marks & Spencer has announced it is extending its long-standing Shwopping scheme with the roll-out of dedicated school uniform Shwop boxes in over 200 of its stores across the UK.

Collaboration for change



Through the new M&S Back-to-School Shwopping boxes, donated pre-loved school uniform - which passes the hand-me-down quality test - will be given a second life in an Oxfam shop and, for the first time, made available on a dedicated pre-loved school uniform shop on eBay.

By partnering with eBay, M&S and Oxfam hope the pilot shop will mean even more families can access affordable, great quality school uniform – no matter where they live or how they choose to shop.

Every school uniform sale - whether through Oxfam’s shops or via the eBay shop - will raise funds to support the vital work the charity does to tackle poverty and inequality around the world, including supporting communities on the front line of climate change. Any school uniform that can’t be resold in Oxfam shops or on eBay will be recycled or reused wherever possible.

Hand-me-down quality at trusted value

As the market-leader in school uniform – selling nearly seven million pieces of school uniform a year – M&S understands that it is an essential purchase for millions of families every year.

Customers trust M&S to offer true value for money and create products which don’t cost the earth. That’s why it has protected the price on school uniform for a third year in a row – without compromising on the ‘hand-me-down’ quality M&S is known for. Made with care - utilising recycled materials or sustainable alternatives - M&S school uniform features stain resistant materials and adjustable hems and waistbands that grow with the child – to ensure that even when it’s outgrown, it’s too good to waste – making it ideal for resale or recycling.
