For most families, the cost of school uniforms can be a struggle and an extra financial worry. We could all do with a little bit of help from time to time so as children across the city have returned to school this month, Sunderland City Council have created a webpage with details of school uniform support, and have put information together that might be helpful when you’re organising your child’s school uniform. It’s worth checking with your child’s school to find out if there are any available grants, vouchers or support towards clothing costs.

In addition to the above services and drop ins, Youth Almighty Project are offering 2 drop in sessions at their free school uniform pop up shop at Farringdon Youth and Community Centre on 23rd and 30th August from 12pm to 3pm. There will be a range of jumpers, cardigans, polo shirts, trousers, skirts, Summer dresses and blazers available.
The Uniform Boutique, from the Building Block Day Centre, mentioned in the above link to Sunderland City Council’s website, is also currently open Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm. The Uniform Boutique is also looking for volunteers, if you would like to get involved in these volunteering opportunities, contact: buildingblocksdaycentre@gmail.com.
