New Zealand's smartest schools use HMR to help their communities save on uniforms
Hand Me Round simplifies the administration of running a second-hand uniform shop at school so that it is easy to implement by anyone.
We provide the instructions, software, and ongoing support to get your volunteers up and running quickly.
Selling second-hand uniforms in a school shop using Hand Me Round generates significant funds for the school.
Buyers and sellers get a fair price and convenience in an environment they trust, while HMR is often the primary source of funding for the PTA.
Trading second-hand uniforms through auction sites, Facebook and local information pages is inconvenient for both buyers and sellers, and provides zero benefit to schools.
HMR works within the shop at your school so everyone trusts the process, its easy on volunteers and importantly, your kids get the right size!
Buying uniforms for growing children as they progress through school is a significant cost for many families.
A vibrant school shop for second-hand uniforms normalises the practise of re-use for everyone and demonstrates a perfect example of the circular economy in action.
Hand Me Round was founded by a group of parents seeking better ways to connect schools and their communities using sustainable practices for managing second-hand uniform sales.
Since 2009 we’ve worked a range of options through several schools to create a product that is easy on volunteers, good for schools and good for their communities.
The cost of living crisis makes it tough for many people right now.
But no matter their circumstances we know that families who buy and sell second-hand uniforms through their school are proud to raise funds for their school, save money and help the environment.
