I have been approached today by a charity that offer school grants to shop workers in the fashion industry (Next, New Look, M&S, George) who are struggling financially.

The grants are for school uniform, laptops, sports equipment & more 📚 🎒 💻

Grants are OPEN NOW & take around 4 weeks to process. So please let anyone know that could benefit.

Also, if you do apply, please let us know how you get on so we can update the article and continue to promote for those in need.
