School uniform costs can place a massive burden on families, especially when things are already so tight. So the news that M&S is launching an online pre-loved uniform shop has been welcomed.
Shoppers are being asked to donate their good quality hand-me-down uniforms in store and will be given a 20% off voucher for their trouble.
Any items dropped off as part of the Shwopping scheme will be given a second life - either in an Oxfam shop or, for the first time, made available on a dedicated pre-loved school uniform shop on eBay.
