Overview
- The airline has begun donating garments in Luton, supplying Level Trust’s Uniform Exchange that serves roughly 75 local schools and prioritises older-year students.
- A crew uniform refresh on November 10 will generate more retired items, with an aim to recycle or donate 100% of garments for reuse.
- Plans call for rollouts to additional charities in Luton and at London Gatwick later this year, with further UK bases and European expansion targeted for 2026.
- Airline-commissioned polling reports 58% of households struggle with school uniform costs, with average spend around £255 per child, 34% sacrificing essentials and 19% using overdrafts or credit.
- EasyJet says the programme seeks to support parents facing financial hardship and cut textile waste, noting Level Trust’s rising requests and high child poverty rates in Luton.
