Meeting: 22/07/2020 - Council (Item 18)

Motion Submitted Under Council Procedure Rule 11

Motion 01/2020 moved by Councillor Temperton and seconded by Councillor Neil

 

We congratulate and thank all schools for enabling Bracknell Forest children to return to school in September, keeping all as safe as possible.

This is a very exciting time for some, but very stressful for others. For some parents, with  greatly reduced finances resulting from the Covid-19 lockdown, the need to buy new uniform is a huge problem. They too want the best for their child but have no available funds.

I therefore ask the Council to call upon the Executive to set up a School Uniform Grant to support those parents throughout Bracknell Forest, who have a proven need for such assistance.
