More parents are considering getting their children's school uniforms from charity shops as the cost-of-living crisis bites, a charity has said.

In a survey of more than 2,000 people, the disability equality charity Scope found that 55% of parents would buy second-hand school clothes.

The manager of Scope in Taunton, Jo Holt, said people are being more "careful" with money.

Scope is asking for donations of unneeded school clothes.

Of the 2,000+ surveyed, the question about uniforms was not applicable to 35%.

Around 55% of the rest said they would buy second-hand uniforms, according to a spokesperson for Scope.
