Doreen's charity in Hull has provided free school uniforms to over 100 children as demand rises annually. The organization repurposes unwanted uniforms to assist families facing high costs associated with school attire, which can average £442 for secondary students and £343 for primary students.
New government regulations limiting the number of branded uniform items aim to alleviate financial burdens on parents, potentially saving families up to £50 per child. The charity's co-founder expressed hope for further support to make uniforms universally free.
