'Less of a stigma' on second-hand school uniforms
Families are finding second-hand school uniforms less stigmatized as costs rise for back-to-school shopping. In Guernsey and Jersey, parents are feeling the pinch with specific uniform requirements and the high cost of living. Some are turning to sales and charity shops, while others benefit from grants for school uniforms. In Jersey, parents spend between £100 to £200 yearly on uniforms, and options like second-hand sales offer significant savings.
