There has been huge interest in a new School Uniform Swap Shop which will open in east Donegal this afternoon.
The Castlefin Uniform Swap Shop has been set up in St Mary’s Hall to assist families with the costs involved with sending children back to school.
The pop-up exchange is a place where parents and children can donate all the school uniform items they no longer need and pick up items they DO need, for no charge!
The novel idea is the brainchild of local Cllr Gary Doherty and St Vincent de Paul Branch President Noeleen Killen and was featured on RTE News yesterday.
