Uniform bank returns to stoke

A uniform bank is returning to a Stoke-on-Trent market to help local families prepare for the next school year.

Becky, who runs the Community CAN stall in Tunstall, is reopening the uniform bank today (Friday 14 August) for its fourth year in the market.

After supporting 218 children with uniform items in 2025, the bank will reopen on Fridays and Saturdays in August allowing families to purchase pre-loved and donated clothing with a suggested donation.

The stall owner – who ran a uniform bank for eight years before opening one at Tunstall Market – said she was motivated to start the initiative due to high uniform costs.
