Demand for free school uniforms has rocketed as the cost of living crisis continues to bite, a charity has revealed.

A Better Fit said second-hand clothes they're given are leaving their warehouse as soon as they arrive.

Kathryn Wakeham, who set up the organisation in Cardiff four years ago, said the rise was "over tenfold".

The Welsh government said grants were available for those eligible for free uniforms.

Children's Commissioner for Wales, Rocio Cifuentes, said she wants the Welsh government to come up with a child poverty action plan.
