Mum buys 120 school uniforms to help struggling Anfield families
A Liverpool mum has bought 120 school uniforms for Anfield children.
Kate Stewart, owner of The Sandon Complex in Anfield, wants to help local families with the added costs of school uniforms. The mum-of-four and entrepreneur regularly supports local organisations and charities.
Kate said: "The cost of living crisis is crippling people who need help the most and I know that there will be parents who are worrying about affording new school uniforms for their children.
