Free uniform giveaway

THE FORMER BOXER HAS HUNDREDS OF UNIFORMS TO HELP HULL FAMILIES

- By DEBORAH HALL

HULL'S Tommy Coyle will be handing over school uniforms by the hundred in his annual free giveaway.

The former boxer started giving away school clothing to hard-pressed households during the pandemic and it has become a regular fixture before the start of the new school year ever since.

Tommy's Free School Uniform Project will be taking place at his TC60 gym in Humber Street, Hull, tomorrow. Doors open at 11am and will continue to be open "until all the uniforms have gone", said Tommy.

He is being helped in the generous gesture by sponsors including TransWaste, Cranswick Foods and MKM, with a small donation on top from Hatfields Land Rover. The scheme is being delivered by the Coyle Sports Community.

Tommy said: "My mum and dad hated this time of year, with four kids in the end. It's so expensive kitting the kids out with uniforms and they grow so fast.
