A popular Glasgow school uniform bank is set to close next year due to a lack of funding.
Glasgow's Pre-Loved Uniforms, based on Govan Road, was formed in 2017 by Donna Henderson and became a registered charity in 2020.
The charity has provided children and young people with warm school uniforms, shoes and jackets, to help families save money and help the environment.
It has also helped a total of 31 schools in Glasgow with rails of clean, good-quality uniforms.
Now, the charity is closing its doors and will no longer be taking donations or accepting requests as of January.
In a post to Facebook, Donna detailed her sadness about the charity's sudden outcome.
She wrote: "This financial year we have struggled to find funding and with costs rising we have struggled financially.
"It has been an extremely hard decision to make and I am truly heartbroken that we have reached this point."
Donna thanked the charity's volunteers, trustees and her family for their support throughout the charity's years.
