Introducing Local School Uniform Swap Shops

Launched by Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council

School Uniform Swap Shops are set to open in local Co-ops and community venues across Hinckley and Bosworth this summer to help families prepare for the new school term.

The scheme will run from Tuesday 9 July to Tuesday 27 August.

Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council is encouraging families to donate good quality school uniforms no longer required, as part of a new summer scheme to support residents in saving money on school uniform costs as well as cutting down on clothes being sent to landfill.

Everyone who needs school uniform is welcome to collect donated items.

Full details can be found on the HBBC website via the link below. Please share details of this great initiative with any local parents of school children you know.

A list of the participating venues can be found here.

13th Annual Soapbox Derby on Sunday 30th June was another winner for the town!

Hinckley BID’s 13th Annual Soapbox Derby on Sunday 30th June was another winner for the town!

More than 10,000 spectators turned out to see 27 enthusiastic teams of all ages and from all over the Midlands giving their highly creative Soapboxes a fast push over the start line to begin negotiating their descent down the 200m course – some of it smooth tarmac, and some with challenging cobbles! As they reached halfway it became decision time – risk the Ramp to gain extra speed or negotiate the Chicane which might slow them down...

It was a day of great competitiveness and sporting camaraderie and we at Hinckley BID are proud to be able to provide an annual event that is so well embraced by the teams who enter a Soapbox and loved by the crowds.
