## Resource

The Sandy Lane Charitable Trust is launching a major back-to-school push, donating $100,000 for uniforms and 500 pairs of shoes to kids in need—part of a broader effort to ease financial pressure on families as school starts. With rising costs making basics like uniforms unaffordable, the trust is teaming up with the Uniform Factory Outlet to deliver essentials, including books and stationery, to pre-approved households. But they’re asking for more: a VAT waiver could unlock an extra $15,000 to buy even more uniforms, showing how small policy tweaks can stretch charitable impact—and ensure every child starts school ready, confident, and supported.
