Free school uniform scheme faces busiest ever year despite changes in legislation
Staff and volunteers at a Telford charity are working hard to organise and deliver free school uniforms in their busiest year ever.
Telford Crisis Support has been running the Telford and Wrekin school uniform swap and donate project since 2021.
The project provides free uniforms for all schools in the borough and is open for donations and requests all year round.
Last year, the charity saw demand for free uniforms and PE kits double from the previous year - this year, they expect even more requests.
With summer holidays here again and the cost of living crisis eating into parents' budgets, the centre has been seeing the number of requests rise each month.
