"...this can make the school holidays less fun and more stressful"

As a parent with three children, I know how difficult it can be during school holidays, whether it be by paying for activities, buying new clothing, the extra cost of the household bills that can be that bit more expensive, shopping is also more expensive over the school holidays and trying to do all of this on very little money is tough and stressful. Parents are struggling with all of the above and this can make the school holidays less fun and more stressful.
