An expert says parents may need to be more open to having conversations with their children about financial issues, while also creatively finding ways to make items last.
What started as a soup kitchen is now also a uniform bank, where more than 2,000 items a month are handed out to families. The items are sourced from schools, parents and local supermarkets."We're giving out at least a couple of thousand items a month at the moment, and I think that's just going to get bigger," said CEO Neil Charlick."It's not just people who are struggling or people on benefits, but people in full-time employment.
"I think it's great when we can have conversations with children about how finances work and what we can and can't afford, and help bring children into the story of looking after things,'' she said.
