Staying fine far northwest where it will be largely dry with some brighter spells. Cloudy in between with outbreaks of rain, perhaps heavy at times, although this turning showery and easing through the afternoon. Breezy. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

School uniforms for £1

It’s not long before school’s out for summer, but parents will already be dreading the financial headache that comes with kitting them out for the new term.

At a time when we’re all still feeling the pinch, reports have found that the cost of today’s school uniform, bag and its contents have doubled in real terms since the 1980s.

Donated uniforms are washed, and repaired, if necessary, ironed, starched and bagged up in sizes by a team of volunteers.
