All primary and secondary schools have been closed since January 5 following the introduction of a third national lockdown in England.

Most have been home schooled with only vulnerable children and children of key workers allowed to attend schools for face-to-face learning.

However, most primary school pupils returned to class from Monday - which is putting a new pressure on parents and carers.

Many children have grown out of their uniforms and Judith Coe, of Spilsby Christian Fellowship, wants parents to know the church is there to support parents and carers who might struggle to buy new outfits.

"We have seen the demand for uniforms increase as parents got their children ready to go back to school" said Judith.

"We want parents and carers to know that at the Christian Fellowship we are on hand to help lighten the load.

"We have a wide range of pre-loved generic and logo uniform for local primary and secondary schools."

Anyone needing a uniform can contact Spilsby Christian Fellowship via their Facebook page.

Alternatively call 01790 752457.
