I’ve been to top up our boxes at @riccallregen, @nycclibraries in Selby, and The Barn in Tadcaster today. If you need period products you can access them for free in these spaces (plus others!). #Tadcaster #Selby #Riccall #SelbyDistrict #TheSelbyDistrictPeriodProject #FreePeriods

Today is Menstrual Health Day!

We’ve come a long way in the fight for menstrual equality - but there’s still so much further to go. Everyone deserves the right to a happy, healthy period free from shame and stigma.

Has your school has signed up to the free Govt scheme for period products? It is still running during lockdown!

If you need support to access period products, you should get in touch with your school to organise a safe way to arrange this.

I know some spaces may have been forced to close temporarily but others remain open & are playing a key role within their local community. Please do get in touch if you work in a community venue & you'd like to discuss hosting a box to provide access to free period products

The Selby District Period Project is still here to support local community spaces with the provision of free period products and appreciate that free access to these essential items may, for some, be needed now more than ever.

Whilst we have lots of period products to fill our boxes, we have almost run out of reusable bags. Lots of kind and crafty supporters made these when I ran @selbyredbox and I wondered whether anyone is able to help with these for our new community project? Thanks, Rebecca ❤️

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!

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!)

[The Red Box Project @RedBoxProject]

Really worrying stats from @PlanUK showing how lockdown is exacerbating issues of period poverty

Vital to remember that, in England, schools & colleges can still order #FreePeriodProducts under DfE scheme - we urge them to do so & to distribute safely

Glad to see @educationgovuk @vickyford confirm period products are still available for ALL learners who need them

Pls do spread the word to schools & colleges across England

I’m busy behind the scenes working on my new community period project and wondered whether anyone with an art and design background would be willing to volunteer some time to help create a new logo?
If anyone is interested please drop me a message 😊
