Uniform Support and the Cost of Living
For those parents and carers with concerns about the costs of school shoes, school uniform, coats or equipment please ask to speak to the family worker, who can discuss this further with you confidentially and provide assistance.
There has been a sharp increase in the cost of living and we are also able to help signpost you to organisations that can assist and provide support. You can also find further help from Citizens Advice.
