Longton Exchange Shopping Centre has announced its upcoming initiative to support local families and 'Keep Longton Warm' throughout the winter season.
As part of this endeavour, the shopping centre is asking for donations for gently used winter clothing and school uniforms.
This follows the success of 'The Little Longton Uniform Exchange' where 500 families were provided with free school uniforms before the start of term.
A spokesperson for the centre said: "We kindly request everyone's participation in sharing the event.
"We want to ensure that as many members of our community are aware of the exchange and have the opportunity to donate or receive winter clothing".
Donation drop-off points are at Kizzy B's or the Centre Management Office.
The pop-up shop - located in the old Shoezone store - will be open from Monday 30 October to Friday 3 November 2023.
All winter clothing and school uniforms will be free of charge, although visitors are asked to consider making a donation to the centre's Charity of the Year, Stoke Air Ambulance.
To further support those in need, a competition will run in-store, offering £50 vouchers for spending at Steve's Butchers and an additional £50 for spending at MAW Fruit and Veg.
Centre Manager, Chris Ward, said: "The community is at the heart of everything we do here at Longton Exchange.
"Being able to provide our shoppers with free clothing for the winter is something I am deeply passionate about."
