We have seen the news over the last few days that young people are still struggling to access period products in schools and colleges. This is such disheartening news and naturally we will do all that we can to improve matters. bbc.co.uk/news/education-656…

This is fantastic to see! Normalising periods in assemblies helps tackle the stigma around menstruation and helps people seek period products when they need them! Thank you Chorlton High School!

This morning, Y9 girls were given free sanitary products to take away- pads, tampons and period proof knickers ❤️ At CHS, we provide free sanitary products for all girls and we will be visiting assemblies to inform students of the support available 🥰 #community #support #love

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family at this time. Rest in peace, ma'am.

It seems someone else needs some education on #PeriodPoverty too. Don't worry, we've got you covered! ✊🩸 Here's a thread for you 👇 Firstly, mobile phones aren't absorbent - so would make an awful period product. Not very practical at all. 1/
