The new council in St Helens have ignored the pledge of school uniform help announced by our last council leader Anthony Burns. It’s getting a bit late for parents and carers to rely on that. It won’t happen in my opinion.

Free uniform is always available at T.A.N.G.O Community Project, Park Street WA11 0BG. There’s uniform for schools local to Haydock and Blackbrook along with plain uniform.

Shop open Monday to Thursday 10am - 2pm.
