SCHOOL UNIFORM COSTS HELP

There are other ways for parents to get help with uniform costs too.

In some areas there a school uniform grants worth several hundred pounds per child.

If you can't get targeted help from your council, you might have some other options available to you.

In some areas you can talk directly to your school who might be able to offer you clothing.

Or, you might be able to get cheap garments from low-budget shops or charity stores.

Some charities offer help to families in need too.

For example, in Camden, London, residents can apply for help through the St Pancras Welfare Trust, Glasspool or London Ragamuffins.

But bear in mind charities often have a limited amount of money to give and usually have specific criteria which must be met in order to get a grant.

Charity Turn2Us has a free grants search tool on its website which you can use to find out what help is available to you.
