Free school uniform shop moves to cope with demand
Second Chance CIC, a community shop in Sunderland, has relocated to a larger premise due to increasing demand for its free second-hand school uniform scheme. The shop, founded by Wendy English, provides pre-worn uniforms to families in need at no cost. With support from grants, the initiative aims to alleviate financial burdens on families struggling to afford new uniforms, highlighting the need for more affordable school clothing options.
