HELP is at hand for parents and carers struggling to meet the cost of buying school uniforms.

Applications for school clothing grants are now available on Inverclyde Council's website.

Anyone who wants to be considered for a clothing grant or if your child is in S1 to S6, you must complete a form.

Applications with the appropriate evidence must be submitted by mid-July to ensure the grant is received before schools return in August.
