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
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.
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. 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
Customers can Shwop any item of school uniform, from any retailer, including those with school badges. Items of school uniform should be clean and of good quality. Dedicated Back-to-School Shwop Boxes will be located in the kidswear section at more than 200 M&S stores.
As a special thank you for Shwopping school uniform, Sparks customers (The M&S loyalty app), will receive a 20% discount off selected kids clothing at M&S. The Offer cannot be used on discounted items, babywear, accessories, footwear, nightwear, underwear, school uniform and hosiery. Not valid in outlets Pre-loved school uniform will be available in selected Oxfam shops and on eBay.co.uk from late summer. Availability is dependent on the level of donations. Any school uniform that can’t be resold in Oxfam shops or on eBay will be recycled or reused wherever possible.
In June, M&S announced it has protected the price of its school uniform for a third year in a row, as part of its commitment to protect the value on the products that matter most to customers.
