ELIGIBLE learners in Ceredigion will receive additional support from September.
School Essentials (PDG - Access) helps with uniform, sports equipment, stationery, and devices.
Research from the Bevan Foundation has revealed that the majority of Welsh people are cutting back on essential items due to rising costs of living.
As the new term approaches, Ceredigion County Council are urging parents to apply for the support they’re entitled to.
Cllr Wyn Thomas, the Cabinet member responsible for Schools said: “Funding for School Essentials (PDG - Access) is an important step in stopping money getting in the way of children’s education.
“We urge anyone who feels they are eligible to get in touch with us to support parents and learners through the school year.”
If your child is currently receiving Free School Meals, you may be entitled to additional support.
