Summer holidays are almost here -there’s still time for schools in England to order their free period products & distribute them to students in need.⁣ COVID-19 has exacerbated problems of access to supplies -it’s vital we support young people over the summer. Spread the word!❤️

[RedBoxProjectWakefieldSouth @RedBoxWakefield]

The launch of the government’s scheme is Monday! Schools/colleges please sign up and everyone tell your teacher friends! Let’s make sure this is used and no student goes without period products #periodrevolution #theredboxproject #endperiodpoverty #freeperiods

[The Red Box Project @RedBoxProject]

We're absolutely thrilled every school/college in England can order free period products - from Monday!

We've teamed up with #FreePeriods to urge everyone to join the #PeriodRevolution!

“Schoolgirls... are missing out on education because their families cannot afford to buy tampons or pads...

[S]hame stops them asking for help or admitting why they are skipping school...

An unnecessary cycle of period poverty remains unbroken & wreaks havoc”

A top up for Ossett Academy yesterday and St Thomas á Beckets today. That’s it for top ups before the end of term. See you in September! ❤️

[RedBoxProjectWakefieldSouth @RedBoxWakefield]

We’ve been quiet on the social media front recently, but we’ve been busy providing top ups for lots of our secondary schools before the summer holidays. We have top ups for two schools ready to go out this week ❤️… https://t.co/erlIfOoGbo

Periods don’t stop for the summer, so neither do we!

Our coordinators are hard at work delivering extra products to schools for kids to take away for the holidays

Many projects also support youth groups etc so there’s still easy access to free products when school is closed 🙌
