The February half-term event proved popular, giving families in Wick the opportunity to get secondhand uniform for various schools in the area.
Alison Whitburn, community champion at Morrisons in Littlehampton, launched the uniform swap in conjunction with Littlehampton town councillors.

Hide AdShe said: “We had a really successful uniform event on February 22. Lots of families came to the new venue of Chilgrove House, kindly loaned to us by Arun District Council.
“Belinda Brighton, community engagement officer, is based there and was on hand to help and chat to the local residents, who thought the event was a great idea.”
The next uniform event, in the Easter holidays, will be expanded to include other children’s clothes, as well as uniform, and good-quality toys.

She added: “Having the uniform event based there is great as there are a lot of the community living nearby. People are asked to pay 50p an item if they can.”
