"58% said more pupils did not have the equipment they needed for their lessons and 55% said more of their pupils’ families were unable to afford school uniform." School uniform banks are playing a crucial support role, but we are stretched. Demand is soaring. #ClothesCountToo

Our members are seeing the devastating effects of the cost of living crisis on pupils, with rising numbers of children and young people coming to school hungry and without the uniform and the equipment they need to learn. nasuwt.org.uk/article-listin…

Help us wrap our arms around our local children this winter! Many children are attending school with inadequate jackets which won’t keep them warm or don't have a jacket meaning they won’t attend school. You can help us change this for a local child. facebook.com/theschoolbankw…

1/2 We were delighted to join in the conversation about school uniforms at @ScotParl yesterday. It's so important that ALL children feel included and valued, and that uniform policies focus on affordable, accessible clothing for all. #ClothesCountToo

1. At today's parliamentary roundtable on school uniform @rshanks highlighted the link between access to school uniform and education. The school uniform grant is welcome, but not enough for all families & there are many just above the threshold for eligibility.

The cost-of-living crisis is affecting many people including our supporters. We are struggling to keep up with increasing prices of items too. If you are having a clear out at home we would appreciate donations of good quality jackets, uniform, PE kit to help us top up our packs.

As the #CostOfLivingCrisis takes hold, more and more families are dependent on charities like clothing banks to provide basics for their children - from warm winter coats to underwear and PJs. Demand is high and growing. #ClothesCountToo

📺 Nearly half a million people in Scotland have no money left after covering essential expenses each month. 1.2 million have less than £125. With energy bills and prices in the shops rising,we need to see radical and urgent action to help people through the #CostOfLivingCrisis

A familiar sight in this clip from the BBC, which highlights the struggles of many families to afford school uniform and the work of clothing bank charities in meeting that need. Our work isn't a nice extra - it's vital to so many children and young people.
