More than 1,500 children in Leicester have received free school uniform items from a charity pop-up shop, organisers say.

Originally known as Leicester Children's Holidays, LCH Charity set up the shop at the Highcross shopping centre using 拢50,000 in anti-poverty funding from the city council.

The idea was to offer pre-worn school clothing of all types to lower-income families, and now offers several projects to help disadvantaged children in the East Midlands.

The city council has now confirmed it will support the project for a second year in 2026.
