Need more school uniform - pop Down Town

Could your washing machine do with a break? 👕

Keeping up with school uniform can feel like a never-ending cycle of washing and drying, and with the cost of running appliances, it can all add up.

Why not pop into our Re Love the Pre Loved shop and stock up on some spare uniform instead?

Having a few extra pieces to hand means you can take the pressure off the laundry, save yourself some time and cut down on those extra washes. 💚

You'll find Re Love the Pre Loved at Down Town, above New Look in Charter Walk Shopping Centre.

Need a little extra help with benefits?

Do you have questions about benefits, need help with an application or form, or know someone who might need a bit of extra support?

The DWP Visiting Officers will be at Down Town for a friendly drop-in session. The team can offer advice, help with applications and form completion, and discuss whether a home visit could be arranged if needed.

☕ Wednesday 14 October, 10am–3pm

Whether you’re looking for advice for yourself or someone you care about, pop in for a chat. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come along.
