The CSW initiative has three clear benefits/objectives:

1) To help children and their families by providing them with good quality clothing.

2) To strengthen communities and to educate children about sharing, having empathy for others and about the wider community in which they live.

3) To reduce waste and to reuse what resources we have.

In the short time since launching, we have worked with a total of nine donating and receiving schools. This has allowed for community building and education through the involvement of the children in delivering the programme. In addition to clothing a large number of in-need children we have diverted around one tonne of clothing for reuse.
