Families with children starting school in South Lanarkshire this year could be eligible to apply for a one-off grant.
The council is urging families to check if they are eligible for the Best Start Grant School Age Payment, and applications are open for children old enough to start primary school.
The one-off payment of £267.65 is available to help at a key stage in a child’s life and can be used for anything from books or arts and crafts to a new pair of shoes.
