Inflation is soaring and the cost of living crisis is worsening across the UK and many parents are struggling to make ends meat, let alone fork out hundreds on new school uniforms for their children.
It is estimated that school uniforms can cost parents more than £300 per child per year but there is help at hand. Families across the UK can now apply for a School Uniform Grant of up to £200 per child, per year.
The grant is a government-run scheme which was introduced to help low-income families purchase school uniform for their children. The School Uniform Grant is non-repayable and has a maximum amount of £200, however, this depends on your local authority and individual circumstances.
