Local charity launches item exchange project

A local charity has launched a project to support families struggling with the cost of living crisis.

The Children's Centre wants to encourage more people to give away items that are in good condition, but are no longer needed.

'The Exchange' project was initially trialed last year, with a focus on school uniform.

3FM spoke to Janet Bailey from the charity, who explained why they decided to do it:

Over 270 individual items have already been distributed - you can find more information here.
