A Kirklees charity has given away more than 92,000 items of clothing to those in need, which has helped more than 5,000 children just last year.
Uniform Exchange saw an 87-percent rise in applications for help this last year. Founder Kate France, believes it is a result of the cost of living crisis and uniforms are costing families an average of £422 per year.
Many of the poverty stricken areas across Kirklees, are in the 10% of most deprived neighbours in England, thousands of people donate outgrown uniform every year in a remarkable community effort, through dozens of collections points dotted across the county. These are cleaned and redistributed to the families in need.
