This August, children who’ve fled war, violence and persecution will walk into Scottish schools with no uniform, no proper shoes - and no sense of belonging. Together, we can change that.

Imagine arriving in a new country, starting a new school - and standing out instantly because your clothes don’t match, your shoes are worn, or your jumper has holes.

For many refugee and asylum-seeking children in Scotland, that’s how their first day begins. Instead of excitement, they feel anxiety. Instead of making friends, they’re left on the sidelines.

A simple, well-fitting uniform can change that in an instant. It’s not just clothing. It’s dignity, inclusion, and the quiet confidence to learn.
