Weʼve raised £278 to help disadvantaged girls in Southend through their periods without embarrassment or missing school.

- Funded on Saturday, 9th November 2019

Story
The problem: in Southend, some girls are finding it difficult to access sanitary products when they need them. This should not be happening.
The solution: women from the community sponsor a Red Box, in schools, filled with pads and pants. The Red Box will be a reliable source, and support disadvantaged women throughout their entire period.
How does it work? The Red Box is kept at school, with the Nurse or at Reception. Plain paper bags are included for discretion. When stocks run low, we top them up again. It‘s simple.
How much should I give?
£2 will buy a pack of pads to help a girl through a month.
£5 will buy a pack of pants for emergencies.
Thank you so much for your support.

We did a charity bake sale and the Team chose Red Box to donate the proceeds to! Very worthy cause :)

Red box is an amazingly simple solution to period poverty, which shouldn't exist in 2019. Thank you for the great work you're doing. #40Acts #internationalwomensday
