PROM REFERRAL FORM 2026
Referrals for 2026 proms will officially open on 1st March 2026, and we’re so excited to begin supporting students for the upcoming season.
​
You’re welcome to submit a referral form before this date; however, please note that responses may not be immediate. Prom Ally is currently run by just one dedicated team member, so we truly appreciate your patience and understanding during busy periods.
​
To ensure the process is fair and appropriate, we’re only able to accept referrals from professionals and recognised organisations. This includes school staff, social services, youth or family charities, children’s services, food banks, and other local authorities. Unfortunately, we cannot accept referral forms submitted directly by students, friends, family members, or guardians.
​
Thank you for helping us support young people in our community and for working with us to make prom accessible for everyone.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR REFERRAL
​​
Due to an unprecedented level of demand, it is essential that all sections of the referral form are completed in as much detail as possible. The more information you can provide, the quicker and more effectively we can assess and support each request.
​
If a young person’s name cannot be shared for safeguarding reasons, please enter “Child” followed by their initials in place of their full name.
Once a referral has been accepted, we are happy to liaise directly with the student or their parent/guardian via email to discuss outfit choices, sizing, measurements and collection details. However, this does not transfer responsibility for the safe return of the garment. The referring organisation remains responsible for supporting us in ensuring the outfit is returned promptly after the prom.
​
We greatly value our partnerships with schools, social services, local authorities, church groups and charities, and we rely on your support to help us continue reusing garments safely and sustainably for future students.
​
We kindly request a voluntary donation of £10 per referral to help cover postage, packaging and cleaning costs. This is usually covered by the referring organisation, though occasionally by parents/guardians. If this presents any difficulty, please don’t worry — this contribution is entirely voluntary and helps us operate as a small, non-profit social enterprise.
​
Finally, if students and their parents/guardians are happy to share photos of them wearing their outfits, it makes a huge difference to our awareness and fundraising efforts when we can celebrate them on social media. Photos can be sent via email or online message. If not, please be assured that our service can remain completely anonymous.
