Fund free swimming lessons for all children 3-16
Drowning is a leading preventable cause of child death. RLSS UK suggest that in England, child drownings have doubled since 2019–20. I believe free swimming lessons for ages 3–16 could save lives, cut inequalities, meet curriculum aims, provide life skills, reduce long-term health and social costs.

Fund free uniform for children who get free school meals
I would like parliament to consider that some parents struggle to afford branded school uniform. I think it is extremely expensive, especially as children are likely to outgrow these clothes. I think the government should consider single parents who work multiple jobs spending over £100.

Provide means-tested grants for families with a low income to send their children to extracurricular activities. This could include but is not limited to sports clubs, uniformed organisations, language and music tuition outside of school.
