The school uniform grants and help for parents available in every borough of Greater Manchester
Parents across Greater Manchester could receive help with the cost of buying new school uniforms. With the summer holidays now well underway, some parents will already be thinking about their children's uniform requirements for the upcoming school year.
This includes Manchester's free cost of living advice line which offers support with a wide range of things - this line is open Monday to Friday 9am to 4.30pm on 0800 023 2692. You can also text 07860 022 876 or visit manchester.gov.uk/coladvice. Centre Manager, Victoria Nichol said: “We’ve received so many messages across social media urging for The Uniform Shop to return and with the continuous rise in costs for living, we would like to help as many families as possible during these difficult times. We were blown away by last year’s response and would like to encourage as many parents as possible to send their child’s grown-out school uniform items our way, ready to be recycled and re-worn.
The council is also running the Helping Hand campaign which aims to provide support for residents and families during the cost of living crisis. A spokesperson for Rochdale Council said: "Rochdale borough council doesn’t currently offer uniform grants. There are a couple of active voluntary groups in the borough who offer parents support with uniforms. One of those Uniform for All which can be contacted direct via their Facebook page direct @Uniform4A.”
The Manchester Evening News has reached out to Bury Council for comment on other support available for parents and their children's uniform. Wigan A spokesperson for Wigan Council confirmed that the council doesn't provide uniform grants. However, families are supported through the council's Holiday Activities and Food programme which provides healthy meals and activities for children and young people aged between five and 16 across the borough.
