People are not able to afford period products and we want to help! We are now offering free period products in Locations around Southend.
​
In a survey, 61% of participants said they a struggling to pay for pads for tampons. UK youth parliament heard this problem and wanted to address it on a local level.
​
With funding from the Southend Health and Wellbeing board we now have free period products in public spaces libraries, museums, and galleries that the Council owns with our brand new red relief scheme.
A big step to help everyone feel safe clean and able to go to school and work, or enjoy their day without worry.
