I've raised £1250 to fund the Red Box Project York, providing sanitary products for young people who would otherwise miss school due to lack of access to them.

Disadvantaged young people often miss school because they have started their period and find it hard to obtain sanitary products. The key feature of the scheme is that young people who lack easy access to sanitary items are given as many as they need to see them through their period - not just one or two. It has been designed to be sustainable, providing a reliable supply month after month after month. Through regular and one off donations, we aim to provide enough sanitary products to ensure that noone in York has to miss out on their education for such a simple, heartbreaking reason.
