Did you know that schools & colleges in England can order FREE period supplies under a Govt scheme? Only 40% have signed up so far - we need to change this! Pls share this flyer with your contacts - it has all the details a school needs to order! Pls RT! #PeriodRevolution

Hi Tassja, Sadly, YJS's aren't covered by the period products scheme funded by the government We no longer take donations as our work mainly focused on schools and colleges - so sadly we're unable to help too Sorry not to be of more help for the people at Bradford YJS

You can also write to your MP about the issue. @irise_int have put together a template which you can find at the link here 👇 irise.org.uk/everyperiodcoun…

Please share this post to your friends, family, teachers, parents, governors too, so that they can access the information.

All parts of the UK now have period product schemes for schools and colleges in place - so we will share details of all the schemes in the different nations. Stay tuned on our social media channels for more information.

We want to help schools and colleges to support their students - so we will share resources and information we have to aid schools and colleges do this.

We have seen the news over the last few days that young people are still struggling to access period products in schools and colleges. This is such disheartening news and naturally we will do all that we can to improve matters. bbc.co.uk/news/education-656…

This is fantastic to see! Normalising periods in assemblies helps tackle the stigma around menstruation and helps people seek period products when they need them! Thank you Chorlton High School!

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family at this time. Rest in peace, ma'am.

Thanks for the reply, Maya. Clearly, we have differing views when it comes to period poverty. There is evidence available of period poverty affecting young people and their education from Plan Int'l UK We support policies to end poverty, including period poverty, wholeheartedly

Info from Plan Int'l UK is available here: plan-uk.org/act-for-girls/gi…

Thank you for sharing your experience, Arlo. We completely understand that's its not as simple as just getting the first product available - owing to things like allergies, as you mentioned. Sadly, Maya had a very simplistic outlook. Hopefully, she's more aware now ✊🩸

We agree, Andy. And that's why we'll always bang the drum to raise awareness and educate about period poverty and the plight of the issue

It's this because of experiences like the one of the lady you mention that we make no apologies for raising awareness of period poverty Thanks for your support for your guests - I'm sure they really value it ✊🩸

We hear you, Duncan. We did see Maya decided to go on to be transphobic in the thread 😔 Red Box Project stands to be inclusive and champions access to period products for everyone who menstruates

Sorry - we've spilled into a new reply. Not enough characters in the limit! 🙄😂 But thank you for thinking of us! It is very much appreciated ❤️✊🩸

Thank you! We will keep raising awareness and education around periods and period poverty ✊🩸 We no longer take donations as schools have a gov funded scheme now. However, we'd love for you to support your local community with products through a local food bank or other org ❤️

Thank you for your support ✊🩸
