We quietly ensure that no young woman in Folkestone, misses school because she has her period. #endperiodpoverty

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!

This flyer has all the details a school needs to order!

Periods don't stop for pandemics!

On our Day of Action, we're asking you (yes, YOU!) to help your local school/ college join the #PeriodRevolution to bring free period products to those who need them

Will you join? (It only takes a second to RT!)

Hope we can count on your support with our campaigns @DamianCollins. We are fundraising to purchase diverse and inclusive books and donating them to our local schools in Hythe & Folkestone. @HytheBooks @_BooksForChange

We know the difference it can make to have free period supplies in your school

PLEASE, encourage your local schools & colleges to sign up for their free products

It’s so easy to do - but the impact can be truly life-changing for students

It's been a bit quiet over the summer holiday and as we start to wind down after the news that the government will be providing a scheme for schools BUT we are still working hard until then! ⁣We spent the morning putting some bags together to go out in the next few weeks 😍⁣
