UK parents urged to check school uniform grant eligibility; local councils offer up to £200 assistance amid cost of living crisis.
Martin Lewis, MoneySavingExpert.com founder, urges UK parents to check eligibility for school uniform grants, as local councils provide up to £200 assistance, helping families during the cost of living crisis. School uniform costs in England average £99.83 per pupil, and grant availability varies across councils. In Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, similar assistance is offered, with deadlines for applications approaching. The Household Support Fund, allocating £842 million, also provides aid for families with essential expenses.
