Thousands of families in one part of Greater Manchester are being given £50 to spend on school uniforms

Thousands of families in one area of Greater Manchester will be offered vouchers worth up to £50 to spend on school uniforms.

Bury council is one of the first in the country to provide help with the price of uniforms as the cost of living crisis continues to bite.

Any school-aged children in receipt of free school meals will be eligible for a voucher, which can be used at supermarkets and specific clothing shops.

A total of £240,000 has been set aside to cover the cost of the scheme. In all, around 6,000 children will be included in the vouchers project.
