Welcome to Kirklees Climate Commission.
Commission to help Uniform Exchange measure green impact
The Kirklees Climate Commission will help Huddersfield-based Uniform Exchange assess the environmental benefits of its work to share unwanted school clothing with families across the district.

Established in 2011, Uniform Exchange now works with all 182 schools in Kirklees to redistribute more than 75,000 items of uniform.
