    I don't think there is a specific clothes allowance. However you could talk to the community welfare officers about a supplementary welfare payment. I suspect such payments are only really paid in exceptional circumstances.

    You could visit SVP, they take in a lot of clothes and I'm sure they would be only too happy to give some for a good cause.
