Period Poverty

Has anyone tackled this issue in their schools? I work in a city school in particularly deprived area and this must be an issue for certain girls that we have. I want to know if anyone has been able to do something positive to get sanitary products for their girl pupil. All help and advice appreciated.

Other threads have mentioned the support from Bodyform - sponsoring schools with 200,000 pads

It might be an idea to consider purchasing own brand san-pro rather than brand name san-pro as it is a lot cheaper.

Wilko do STs for as little as 25p for 10 (compared to £1.50-£3.00 for 12 Bodyform towels).

It is such a sad state of affairs that in 2018 in the UK period poverty even exists at all.

Good luck OP.
