Households in Edinburgh struggling financially amid the cost of living crisis can get school grants to help with the cost of lunches and school clothing.
With budgets being stretched increasingly thin, and with the energy price cap set to soar in October, families across Scotland are looking for ways to cut back costs wherever possible.
Edinburgh Council offers a range of support to households with children who attend primary and secondary schools, including free school meals, payment for lunches during school holidays, free milk, a school clothing grant to help buy school clothes, and a Scottish Child Bridging payment.
