Menstrual products are not cheap, but for anyone with a period, they are, of course, an absolute necessity. Bloody Good Period provides period supplies to those who can’t afford or access them. We also provide menstrual and reproductive education to women and people who menstruate. And we help everybody talk about periods.
As we head into a second lockdown in England, our operations will continue in the same way that we've been working since March:
- Our Take What You Need scheme will run from our storage unit in Alexandra Palace, meaning that whoever needs access to period products can collect what they need
- We are bulk-buying and delivering period supplies to groups around the country, so they can get them to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford or access them. We've already distributed over 64,500 packs of period products since lockdown 1.0, to refugees and asylum-seekers, food banks, community response groups, shelters for the homeless and those fleeing domestic violence and frontline NHS workers. And there’s no let-up in sight. Recession is biting, more and more people are being pushed into financial hardship and the government response – including an insulting 3p per week increase in support for asylum-seekers – is inadequate to say the least. Periods don’t stop in a pandemic, and we don’t want anyone to have a terrible period because they can’t get the products they need. We want to make sure we can get products to anyone who needs help – so we need every bit of support you’re able to give us right now.
