£50 winter clothing payment for families 

Parents and carers who have received a school clothing grant for this school year (August 2023 to June 2024) will get a £50 winter clothing payment. 

The payment will be made in early November directly into bank accounts. 

People who have already applied for a school clothing grant do not need to apply again. 

Anyone who hasn’t applied but is entitled to receive one can apply for a school clothing grant by Friday 20 October to get both payments. 

There is help and support available for anyone who needs it. 

Parents and carers with a child in secondary school, Mary Russell or Riverbrae schools can make an appointment with the new Schools Support Service run by Renfrewshire Citizens Advice Bureau. 

A new family support service for parents and carers with children in primary school or younger is due to launch shortly. 

There’s also help and support available from Renfrewshire Citizens Advice Bureau and our Advice Works team.
