Parents have said a school uniform pop-up has helped ease the stress of budgeting for the new term. More than 600 people queued up outside a former burger bar on Bridge Street, Peterborough, to pick up free second-hand school clothes.
There are plans to turn Friday's pop-up, where parents could donate or take home items including coats, blazers and prom dresses, into a regular event. Thirty-year-old Hannah - the BBC has agreed to not include her surname - whose eldest daughter starts secondary school in September, said branded school uniforms "really hit a hole in the budget".
She said: "I put money aside even before they finish the previous school year, because I'm thinking of the costs coming out of summer. "This
is a great way to give back to the community."
