BACK TO SCHOOL!
£3,485 is the estimated average cost of school uniforms for a child over the course or their school life (Reception to Year 11).
The cost is equivalent to 4.31 months’ of a mortgage repayment or 3.31 months’ of average rent, although there are substantial regional variations.
Across the North East and Yorkshire and the Humber, the total cost of kitting out a child is more than eight times an average monthly mortgage repayment, while across London the cost of two months’ rent is on par with school uniform costs.
Across the country, 8.4 million children are predicted to return to primary or secondary school this week, a total uniform bill in the region of £2.4 billion.

Charity Golf Day at Heaton Moor Golf Club
Stockport Cerebral Palsy Society will again be hosting their annual fundraising event at Heaton Moor Golf Course on Friday 13th September 2019.
This will be the 26th year this brilliant event will take place and I’m proud to announce it’s Julian Waddens 7th year in sponsoring the event. This fun packed day of golf, food & drink will be full of laughs and fantastic prizes. If you are interested in making a team there are still a couple of spots available so, please get in touch.
Last year the day raised an incredible £12,000, so let’s hope this year’s event at this excellent golf club can raise even more.
** In the UK, Cerebral Palsy affects about one in every 400 people. It can affect people from all social backgrounds and ethnic groups. It is a condition that affects muscle control and movement and is usually caused by an injury to the brain before, during or after birth.
