Ella Lambert and The Pachamama Project work to help eradicate period poverty around the world.

Bournemouth University is launching the scheme in an effort to tackle period poverty.

The council says it has joined a year-long initiative and has contributed £12,000.

The scheme being extended has distributed 55,000 packs of products to date.

Project coordinators say they have seen a year-on-year rise in demand due to the cost of living crisis.

The scheme aims to break the stigma around periods by offering products in Staffordshire, the council says.

"With the cost of living crisis, menstrual products are getting unaffordable," a charity says.
