Level Trust aims to ensure all children have what they need to do their best at school.
Founding director for Level Trust, Jane Malcolm, said: “It can cost families up to £250 per child to buy school uniform ready for the new academic year.
“With household budgets being squeezed more and more, kitting a child out for school can be a real stress for families.
