Hey Girls are calling on businesses to consider reusable period products as alternative Christmas gifts for their staff.
We have made the call as families across the country continue to feel the pinch during this time of economic uncertainty.
Purchasing products for staff doesn’t just support them by relieving costs during that time of the month, but vulnerable people living in period poverty thanks to our “buy one, donate one” model.
Kate Smith, our Co-Founder and Director, said reusable period products are the perfect example of gifts from the heart.
She said: “Everybody loves to spread the festive cheer this time of year and it is lovely to receive so many cards and gifts from businesses you work with.
“But the sad reality is there are families up and down the country this year struggling to make ends meet.
“Unfortunately that also means there are thousands of people having to make difficult decisions around something as basic as period products.
“While gifting things like reusable period pants and cups might seem a bit out there, they make for fantastic gifts that benefit your pocket and the environment – as well as helping transform the lives of people living in period poverty.”
Ipswich-based charity Inspire is one of the more than 350 community partners across the country benefitting from our donations.
The charity works to empower young people to achieve a better future, supporting children from a range of different backgrounds.
Danielle Wright, Centre Manager at Inspire, said: “Hey Girls’ ‘buy one, donate one’ model has been a fantastic initiative for charities like ours.
“By purchasing reusable period products as gifts this festive season, you’d not only be contributing to a healthier planet, but you’d also be actively addressing period poverty by helping to supply our students with essential items that enable them to focus on what truly matters – their education and wellbeing.
“It really is the gift that keeps on giving.”
If your business would like to purchase period products this Christmas, orders can be placed in time for the big day before Friday, 1st December.
