Hi Hannah!

Just in case you still need help with school supplies for your son, check out some of these:

Mirror: Back to school supplies: Top retailers to shop for cheap deals on stationery, books and more

Citizens Advice: Help with school costs

TTS School Supplies for Primary, Secondary & Early Years (School supplies resource)

TTS Charity Foundation (TTS also does charity work...try contacting them to see if they can help)

Care.com: 7 Ways to Get Free School Supplies (this one is U.S.-based but the article offers some great idea)

Also, here in the U.S. we have a lot of charities that organize school supply and backpack drives, like one I know locally called the Children's Restoration Network. Perhaps there are ones in the UK too? Just a thought.

I know it's a bit late now but here are some resources for help with school uniforms too:

Gov.UK: Help with school clothing costs (and you can check with your local council for financial help)

School uniform and uniform grants

I netted all this in quick searches today. I can only imagine what you can find if you dig a little deeper in an internet search. Hope it helps, at least for future reference if not immediate needs.
