Together with @AmikaGeorge & #FreePeriods, The Red Box Project are campaigning for the Government to comply with its legal obligations & provide free access to period products for young people in UK schools & colleges.

We really need your support! 👇

As part of our activities for #IWD, we raised over £1000 for @RedBoxProject and collected feminine hygiene products. The project ensures that no young person misses school because they have their period, by providing free menstrual products. @redboxtowerham

We see lots of people on Twitter saying Period Poverty isn't a thing in this country, this story says otherwise and is the reality many young women are living with today. Thanks to @RedTaunton for letting us share @RedBoxProject #periodpoverty #FreePeriods

[The Red Box Project @RedBoxProject]

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that @GOVUK will fund free & universal access to menstrual products in schools (although we know from our work this needs to be in primaries as well as secondaries)

A huge testament to everyone who has campaigned ❤️

We are thrilled to have the council’s support!

[Tower Hamlets Council @TowerHamletsNow]

This week we will be celebrating #IWD2019 so it feels like an ideal time to tell you about @RedBoxTowerHam. We're delighted to be supporting their efforts to tackle #periodpoverty and would love you to consider doing the same. We've put together a short video to explain why...

[Red Box Tower Hamlets @redboxtowerham]

Feedback from one of our schools: “it’s great to be able to offer this service and help so many girls. The students are happy and I’m enjoying running it.”

This is why we do what we do!

We have a new JustGiving page - please do take a look if you’d like to support us ❤️ https://t.co/I8N6ouMkRJ

... in alleviating issue for those currently struggling to access essential menstrual products.

We remain committed to #FreePeriods campaign, calling for Govt funding for free menstrual products in all schools and colleges: https://t.co/Vui5ElX1Ab

We can do so much better

[The Red Box Project @RedBoxProject]

Glad to see @govuk finally acknowledging its responsibility to tackle the issue of period poverty, both in UK & overseas

https://t.co/H0lFARzu9I

But announcement of a “task force” to address issue in UK seems to reflect a disappointing lack of urgency... (1/2)

[Clegg Bamber @CleggBamber]

Good to see @WomenEqualities @GOVUK realising its responsibilities to end period poverty globally. At RBP we still remain committed to the #FreePeriods campaign calling on Govt for free sanitary products in ALL schools and colleges.
