Supporting women in crisis. Period.

We believe all women should have access to period products during their period. But many are experiencing period poverty, unable to access or afford them. That’s why we're working towards our goal to eliminate period poverty in Britain's most deprived communities by 2025.

Pads are also being distributed to crisis areas across the world including Syria and Ukraine.

Period Angels Initiative Launches to Eradicate Period Poverty by 2025,

Led by Local GP Practices

Our pioneering initiative, Period Angels, led by the Gift Wellness Foundation in partnership with Qualitas, aims to eliminate period poverty in the UK by 2025. Central to this effort is the Period Angels app, which connects those in need with free menstrual products through local GP practices and community donors. With plans to establish stations nationwide, we're working to ensure no one has to go without basic period essentials.

Who We Help

Women in Refugee Camps

More than 12 million female refugees in the world have little or no sanitary protection. The situation is so desperate that they have to resort to tearing strips off their clothes to create make-shift pads. Working in partnership with charities on the ground in refugee camps we’re helping to preserve the dignity of women by supplying non-toxic sanitary pads directly to them.

Homeless Women

The number of homeless women in the UK is on the rise. According to Shelter, rough sleeping rose by 15% in 2017 and 14% were women. We’re working with homeless charities, women’s refuge projects and food banks in the UK to donate period products to those who can’t afford to buy food, let alone sanitary protection.

Anyone who is Struggling

Can you imagine having to choose between buying sanitary pads for yourself and your daughter(s) or food for your family? This is a reality for millions of women in the UK. If you’re struggling to afford period products, download the Period Angels app to find your nearest GP practice or organisation supplying free products. Our goal is to establish Period Angels stations across the country and eliminate period poverty by 2025.
