A Merseyside school seeing the impact of the cost of living crisis on the community has decided to take action.
The ECHO previously reported how a struggling mum has been forced to "cut back" after buying "ridiculously priced" school uniform items. Parents are really feeling the brunt of this year's uniform costs, and with rising bills, many will be finding themselves in financial hardship.
One 35-year-old told the ECHO she is struggling to pay her bills this month after being "wiped out" buying her child's uniform. Having spent over £300 on a list of uniform items, she questioned why cheaper alternatives could not be used.
