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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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.
