A Northern Ireland mum has said additional financial support for families struggling to kit out their children with new school uniforms is simply not enough in the current cost of living crisis.
While the summer holidays are only beginning for most pupils, many parents are already counting the cost of preparing to send their children back to school in September.
Last week Education Minister Michelle McIlveen announced that the Northern Ireland school uniform grant will be increased by 20% to help support low income families.
