The Children's Society charity emphasized that the financial burden of school uniforms has been unfairly placed on families for too long, urging a change in policy.
Tower Hamlets mayor, Lutfur Rahman, highlighted that their planned payment represents the financial support that both national and local governments should provide to families.
In response to the growing demand for secondhand school uniforms, charities like the Salvation Army observed a significant increase in requests for affordable clothing amid the cost of living crisis.
With the cost of living crisis impacting families financially, Tower Hamlets council is introducing a new universal payment for school uniforms aimed at supporting low-income households.
