School's 'Eco Prom Wardrobe' is a huge hit

Available for over a year

A school in Market Harborough is one of a growing number across Leicester and Leicestershire to support pupils who struggle to afford clothes for the end of year prom. The cost of buying fancy frocks and sharp suits is beyond the means of many families. At Welland Park Academy in Market Harborough they've set up the Prom Wardrobe where outfits can be borrowed, hired or bought at a much cheaper price than the shops. Âé¶¹Éç Leicester reporter Kevin Ncube has been meeting some of the team who are helping students access prom dresses more easily, and started by talking to Nikki Burgess, the member of staff behind the idea.
