K and J are parents to four children. K is currently studying and in her final year before being offered a paid, permanent placement in the public health sector, and J is now self-employed. The family receives Universal Credit, support from the local authority for school uniform. The children need new school shoes and financial support with topping up school lunch accounts. One of the children also needs a new coat as they have outgrown theirs.
Still £115 left to donate
Total needed £150This Syrian asylum-seeking family has been moved to Leeds and the parent asks for £120 to purchase a school uniform for her child who has been given a school place. The school colour requirements are unusual, so not easily purchased, and the costs are high. Mum asks for funds to purchase the uniform items online. As mum has other children awaiting school places, the cost for this will be extremely difficult for her to reach on her limited benefit. Please can you help the child to have a good start in school?
