Generous employees at the Edinburgh Corstorphine Tesco Extra store have kindly donated a three-figure clothing voucher to a local children’s charity.

The store made the £250 voucher donation to 'Kids Loves Clothes', a Ratho-based charity, which will allow the charity to purchase clothes from F&F - Tesco’s clothing range – to then give to local children in need.

Kids Love Clothes was set up 15 years ago and is an entirely volunteer-led charity that provides clothing to disadvantaged children in local communities across the Lothians.

The incredible team at Kids Love Clothes work via referrals from professionals working with families, such as health visitors, midwives and social workers to put together a whole wardrobe worth of clothes for each referred child.

Claire De Silva, Head of Community at Tesco, said: “Our stores work so hard throughout the year to support their local communities through donations, so it is fantastic that Edinburgh Corstorphine has been able to support Kids Love Clothes.”
