Thank you to all who donated, volunteered and hosted a Red Box!! 🙌🙌🙌 Love Abi and the Heatons Reddish Team ❤️

NEWS FLASH⚡️: Schools are set to lose out on £6.8m of funding for free period products.

Only 40% of schools have signed up to a Government scheme so far - and this funding will go to waste.

Horrendous report on the worsening situation for so many unable to access period supplies during the pandemic

Free period products ARE still available for English schools/ colleges to order from DfE - we urge them to do so, and to distribute to students

A pandemic-prompted period pivot!🩸
