An Uttlesford charity providing clothes to families in need wants help to find a new home.
The Uttlesford Children's Clothing Bank (UCCB) has outgrown its current space - two spare bedrooms and a garage - having donated clothes to more than 70 children throughout the district.
The charity was founded in November 2020 but stopped taking donations on December 7 due to a lack of space.
Madi Wilkie, a UCCB trustee, said: "We are continually turning away people who want to donate clothing."
The charity is looking for a minimum 500 sq ft storage space in or around Saffron Walden to use Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Madi added: "We have very little funding available to afford rent, so are appealing to the kindness of someone's heart to lend us a space that they do not currently need!"
The Children's Society in 2019 estimated 1.8 million UK children went to school in an unclean, ill-fitting or incorrect uniform due to clothing costs.
UCCB takes referrals from social care organisations and schools.
