A Unique Second-Hand Clothing Shop and Educational Initiative at Barnsley College
Located on Barnsley College’s Old Mill Lane campus, Reloved Boutique is a second-hand clothing shop that doubles as an educational initiative. Designed to provide real-world skills in a supportive, hands-on environment, the boutique is specifically tailored for our Learning for Living and Work students, including those with learning difficulties and disabilities.
Our boutique goes beyond traditional classroom learning. In this vibrant and welcoming space, students gain valuable experience in customer service, teamwork, and practical life skills—all while contributing to sustainability through pre-loved fashion.
Through their involvement in the boutique, students acquire a diverse range of practical skills. They enhance their teamwork abilities by collaborating with peers and staff. Communication and English skills are honed through engaging with customers and uploading product descriptions on Vinted. In addition, students apply their mathematics capabilities by calculating prices and providing accurate change, while maintaining the boutique’s inventory.
