In January 2020 we launched a campaign under the name of 'Prom For All', with the aim to help parents/guardians avoid the crazy prices for prom outfits. We receive donations of unwanted prom outfits and hire them out at a low and affordable cost, with all proceeding going to Kings Oak Uniform Bank. All the money raised with the campaign would then go towards buying school uniform, lunchboxes, water bottles & stationary, which is then given to struggling families in the community free of charge.
Unfortunately due to the pandemic cancelling proms nationwide we have not been able to begin this campaign, until now. With restrictions lifted, PROM SEASON IS BACK! We are so excited to announce that our prom outfit hire will be up and running for the 2022 prom season with many prom outfits available to hire, however this will be done under the new name 'Kings and Queens'.
The price to hire is £20, along with a refundable deposit of £10. Deposits are returned once the item you hired is returned. Anyone is eligible to hire an outfit from us, because this is a fundraising campaign.
All the money that you pay to hire a prom outfit goes straight to the Kings Oak Uniform Bank's funds to buy school uniform, stationary etc that will be given out for free to less fortunate families.
You can hire anything you like. We have dresses, suits and sarees. We also have limited tiaras and shoes etc. All items subject to availability and are given out on a first come first served basis.
Our prom hire event will be taking place on the Wednesday 13th April 2022, between 10am and 2pm. This event will be held at Kings Community Church Tame Road B68 0JP, in the main event hall. You will be able to look through the prom outfits we have to offer, including dresses, suits, saris, kurtas, prom shoes, tiaras, and clutch bags. Refreshments will be available free of charge during the event. We look forward to seeing you all!
