A 'SHOP' providing free school uniforms and equipment has been set up in Reading, as of last week.
Local charity New Beginnings Reading started the shop for the first time on August 5, and it will also be open for the last time this Wednesday, August 13.
The charity is providing second-hand school trousers, summer dresses, school skirts, shirts and more for families in need of extra financial support.
Grace Gomez, charity founder, said on her blog, on Inyourarea: "We really want to help parents at this time by removing some of the financial burden and stress associated with buying school uniforms."
