00:00 I'm with Martin who's a volunteer at the storehouse. Martin you had an event
00:08 didn't you a few weeks ago which gave free school uniform to people who needed
00:15 it. I understand you've got some left over. Yes we have. So how would people go
00:21 about getting it? Just come to the store, come to the office and Jonathan or Des will help you out.
00:27 Now there's been a lot of publicity saying that parents are struggling to
00:32 buy school uniforms this term due to the rising cost of living. Was that event
00:38 busy? Yes it was busy. We had quite a few people coming in to get their uniforms.
00:45 And what were people telling you? They were struggling to meet the cost of the kids
00:51 going into secondary schools or into junior schools, finding the cost to pay for
00:56 uniforms very hard. So I mean it is quite late in the holidays but there may
01:03 be people trying the uniforms on on their children over the weekend that
01:07 suddenly realize they've grown out so the storehouse is a place to come. Yes it definitely is.
