Help with school uniform costs
If you are finding it hard to pay for school uniform, we may be able to help.
The Norfolk Crisis and Resilience Service can help Norfolk families who are in financial hardship. This support can help with essential school clothing and shoes.
You can apply online. We will check your application and will ask for evidence, and conduct system checks before we can make a decision.
Apply here: www.norfolk.gov.uk/uniform
When you apply, please tell us:
• your bank details, including a recent bank statement
• how many school-age children live with you
o how many are at primary school
o how many are at high school
Only the parent or carer who receives Child Benefit for the child or children can apply.
If your application is approved, you can choose either for the money to be paid into the bank account shown on your bank statement or receive supermarket vouchers instead.
