2nd Hand Uniforms
rules and regulations
Thinking mostly about reducing waste in our planet while saving some money to the PaRK IS families, the PPA organizes a sale of 2nd Hand Uniforms. Starting in 2021, these actions have always been done with a social character.
You can donate the uniforms that you no longer need, at any time, leaving it at the front desk of any PaRK IS campus, with an indication to be delivered to the PPA's 2nd Hand Uniform bank.
The uniform sale will be made at the PPA online shop, and the delivery will be at the campus you choose. We will confirm your purchase and the delivery date. From February 2026 we will run monthly in-person sales at the PPA warehouse in Alfragide, please register in advance (link to be send at PaRK IS newsletter on the week before).
All PaRK families can participate in the sales and must observe the following rules:
- The donation and order of 2nd hand uniforms are open to all PaRK IS families.
- Only uniforms that are currently in use at PaRK IS are accepted for the sales.
- The items received as donations have to be previously washed and will go through a screening process to ensure they are in good conditions, prior to the sale - please take in consideration that these are 2nd hand items, therefore they may show reasonable signs of use.
- The items approved will be listed as stock, with size and price - price will be approximately 50% of new item's price.
- The rejected items will be made available for other solidarity initiatives, in coordination with the school.
- On in-person sales or fairs, you can exchange items that no longer fit your child - all items must be delivered freshly washed and will be carefully inspected. If any item is deemed unsuitable for resale, it may be donated to solidarity initiatives and no credit will be issued for it. If an item is not properly washed, it won't be accepted.
- 90% of the amount raised will be given to the local charity(ies) chosen at the beginning of the school year.
- All parents/guardians can place orders at any time, using the PPA online shop. Parents shall also use the online shop to check for any item availability (please don't use the email to ask, because we will also use the online shop to check),
- All orders and date of delivery will be confirmed - please be patient as this service is provided by volunteer mom's that donate some free time, after their job and family affairs.
- Payments shall be made right after submitting the order, according to the payment method selected during the check-out.
- Deliveries will be made on a first-come, first-served basis, and regarding the stock of each item.
- PPA is solely responsible for used uniforms sale and is the only responsible for this uniform sale.

Uniform Donations are the primary source of funding for the activities organised by the PPA for the PaRK IS community. The funds raised are used to give back to charities within the local community. And these were the latest donations.
