Charity Sees Soaring Demand for Free School Uniforms Amid Economic Strain

A charity in Hull and East Yorkshire is experiencing a significant increase in demand for its free school uniform service. Doreen's, an organization that repurposes donated uniforms, is struggling to keep up with the growing need from families facing economic hardship.

The surge in requests highlights the financial pressures many households are under, making it difficult to afford essential school supplies. The charity's efforts to provide pre-loved uniforms aim to alleviate some of this burden, ensuring students can attend school appropriately dressed without adding to family debt.
