Families in England struggling with school uniforms need grants, government told

Debt advisers call on UK government to provide school uniform grants for low-income families in England, as many struggle with costs reaching over £340 for primary and £454 for secondary students. Only a fifth of councils in England currently offer any support, leading to a postcode lottery of assistance. As children return to school soon, initiatives like uniform banks are crucial, providing affordable options and reducing financial burdens for families during the back-to-school period.
