A school uniform 'swish' is taking place in Shepton Mallet next Thursday (August 11).

The event has been organised by Citizens Advice and the Stop Loan Sharks team, in a bid to help parents save some money.

People are invited to bring along outgrown uniforms from Shepton schools to the offices at Highfield House between 10am and 1pm on Thursday, and take home any donated items that they can use themselves.
