Description
Period Poverty UK is an organisation that works to combat period poverty by providing free menstrual products to those in need across the United Kingdom. Their mission extends beyond distributing products; they actively campaign for better education on menstruation and work to break the stigma surrounding periods.
The organisation collaborates with various partners, including schools, charities, and community groups, to ensure that menstrual products are accessible to everyone, especially those who are most vulnerable. This includes women in refugee camps, homeless women and women in low income employment. Additionally, they advocate for policy changes to address the root causes of period poverty and promote menstrual equity on a national scale.
Period Angels app
Through the Period Angels app, Period Poverty directs users (those experiencing period poverty) to free period products in their local area. It also enables volunteers (e.g. schools) who collect period products and connects them to local organisations (e.g. food banks) who require free products for those in need.
