A charity shop in Coedpoeth has sought the help of a laundrette to provide a uniform bank for the community.
Local launderette Super Suds is helping struggling families by washing donated school uniforms for Coedpoeth Salvation Army, located on Park Road.
After the success of their uniform bank last year the Salvation Army charity shop in Coedpoeth is running the provision again until September 2.

Sharon Hampton, a Salvation Army Officer at Coedpoeth church and charity said: “It's even more needed this year, as more and more families struggle with their usual costs and branded school uniforms are expensive to buy.”
“The leftover uniforms from last year have been stored in our shop but needed freshening up,” said Sharon.
“The local launderette, 'Super Suds', was approached to see if they could help.
"As this is a project helping the community out, the owner of Super Suds kindly offered to wash all the uniforms for free.”
Super Suds is located on Coedpoeth High Street and provides dry cleaning and laundry services.
The school uniforms available are for Penygelli, Bryn Tabor, and the secondary schools St Josephs and Morgan Llwyd.
