During their long summer holiday, generous Gateshead teenagers are helping to give out school uniforms to families in need.
The team of 17 volunteers, aged between 15 and 17, and two team managers, all left secondary school after completing their GCSE exams this year. The donation scheme, The Gateshead Uniform Donation, launched in late 2019 and has continued annually, ever since.
The teens are all helping out as part of their National Citizen Service and are also collecting school equipment to donate.
