I've raised £250 to Help to put 'Red Boxes' of sanitary items in schools for girls experiencing 'period poverty'

After reading about the number of girls in the UK who miss school because they find it difficult financially to purchase sanitary products, we decided to do something about it.
We have become coordinators for the Red Box Project and have set up The Red Box Project Lymington & Brockenhurst .
Our aim to to put Red Boxes of sanitary items, spare knickers etc in schools so that girls experiencing 'period poverty' can access them and take what they need to support them throughout their entire period.
We are building a community of supporters who agree to donate sanitary items regularly, but there may be times when we need to top up certain items or to buy the red boxes to put in schools.
So this is why we are asking for your help and would really appreciate any donations you can give to this project.
We will use the money raised to put Red Boxes of sanitary products, spare knickers, tights etc in as many schools as possible in the Lymington and Brockenhurst area AND keep them topped up so that young women experiencing 'period poverty' can be supported throughout their entire period.
Why? Because we believe that a young women‘s education shapes her future and her dignity is our responsibility.
Thank you for your support.
