Prom wardrobe bank to help Market Harborough pupils with rising costs
A prom wardrobe bank set up to help pupils struggling with rising costs has been met with a fantastic response.
Market Harborough's Welland Park Academy started the initiative after it heard from students who were being priced out of their end-of-school prom.
The academy said it hopes to set up an online catalogue, from which pupils can hire clothing for a small fee, in 2024.
It said it had already received donations and help from businesses.
The principal's personal assistant, Nicki Burgess, explains to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Leicester's Rob Watson that she came up with the idea after speaking to pupils who expressed concerns about rising costs of prom attire.
