Are you looking for a school uniform for the new school year?

With the cost of living rising, thousands of families are struggling to afford the basics – let alone expensive uniforms.

There are so many amazing projects across the region helping families reduce the cost through school uniform recycling schemes or school uniform swap shops. If you know of any, please leave a link in the comments.

There is also a grant of up to £300 available to some families to help towards the costs of the school year through the Pupil Development Grant.

This grant can be used to cover school uniform and equipment costs. To find out more, please contact your local authority:

Not everyone that needs help will be eligible for the PDG, so if you are struggling, please do contact my office to see what further help may be available.
