Little Stars' new initiative is aiming to ensure that children in the county 'start the school year with confidence' by distributing uniforms through community hubs and referrals from health professionals and schools.

The charity is inviting people to drop off pre-loved, non-branded uniforms at Tesco Extra donation bins in Shrewsbury and Ellesmere or at Morrisons donation bins in Shrewsbury and Oswestry.

Little Stars is also hosting a drop-off event on August 6 between 10am and 12pm where you can take any pre-loved uniform or new school basics to the Tesco Extra Community Room in Shrewsbury.
