School's out for summer! No doubt teachers and pupils alike are glad to see the start of the holidays. Whilst you may not want to see the uniform or school bag for the next two months, ROC's School Uniform Projects can make use of items no longer needed to help families across Greater Belfast.
We now have SEVEN School Uniform Projects in Ballybeen - Dundonald, Glengormley, North, South and West Belfast- with a recently added new location Belvoir in South Belfast. Each project is hosting pop-up shops giving away new and good quality pre-loved uniforms for local nursery, primary and post-primary schools.
Volunteer at our Uniform Projects this summer!

To help us support families finding times tough, we need:
blazers
sweatshirts &Â jumpers particularly school branded onesÂ
trousers & skirts
shirts &Â polo-shirts
PE Kits
school shoes & trainers
school bags &Â pencil cases
Over the past six years, the ROC School Uniform Project has grown in number of projects as demand for this practical support has soared. In 2022, we added the Winter Coat Project and together these form our ROC Compassion Projects. Last year, we supported over 2000 people with uniforms and winter apparel. Apart from small grants from Black Santa and the Esme Mitchell Fund this year, we do not receive any funding to cover ROC's staff time to coordinate, manage and promote the Compassion Projects. If you're able, please consider supporting the School Uniform Project by giving a one-off financial donation or becoming a monthly supporter to ROCNI. A gift of any size will go a long way in practically supporting families in Northern Ireland. Gifts can be donated online here or get in touch with the ROC Team for other options.Â
