Bloody Good Period

- BGP started in 2016 as a collection of period products for refugee drop-in centres, when our founder recognised that many refugees and others living in poverty simply cannot afford these essential items. Additionally people who menstruate suffer because of the culture of embarrassment and shame that exists around this entirely natural, normal process. - Since then, we've provided >300K packs of products to 100+ partners across England and Wales, including food banks, community groups and refugee support charities, and are now meeting record levels of demand. 24% of people who menstruate in the UK say they or their family have struggled to afford period products in the last year.... read more - BGP started in 2016 as a collection of period products for refugee drop-in centres, when our founder recognised that many refugees and others living in poverty simply cannot afford these essential items. Additionally people who menstruate suffer because of the culture of embarrassment and shame that exists around this entirely natural, normal process. - Since then, we've provided >300K packs of products to 100+ partners across England and Wales, including food banks, community groups and refugee support charities, and are now meeting record levels of demand. 24% of people who menstruate in the UK say they or their family have struggled to afford period products in the last year. In 2022, we distributed 87% more products than the prior year. - Since then, demand for our services is more than 40% higher than this time last year - and more and more people need our support. We've distributed over 60k packs of products so far this year which is fab! Not so fab: there are 50 organisations on our waiting list who we are unable to help right now - those affected by the cost of living crisis, and refugees fleeing crises around the world. - We are lobbying for long-term systemic change so that the need for period products isn't filled by a small charity, reliant on the goodwill of donors. Our ultimate vision is a world built for people who menstruate, so that everybody benefits. - Help us continue to meet the growing demand for our services. Now more than ever, your support is vital, and bloody appreciated. THANK YOU.
