Bloody Good Period provides menstrual products to asylum seekers, refugees and those who can’t afford them throughout the UK. We also provide a burgeoning education programme which works to establish excellent menstrual, sexual and reproductive health literacy in refugee communities.

Beneficiaries
Situation
We are seeking to address period poverty, which is estimated to affect 3 in 10 women in the UK. Our main beneficiaries are women in London who menstruate and are forced to go without essentials, including period products needed for good menstrual health. A new poll of 1,000 UK girls aged 14-21 reveals that over one in four (28%) are struggling to afford period products, and nearly 1 in 5 (19%) report being unable to afford period products at all since the start of 2022.

Solution
We will provide menstrual products to asylum seekers, refugees, and people that cannot afford them by distributing pads to over 120 drop-in service centres across London and the UK. We'll also run our education programme, providing sexual and reproductive health information and signposting. As part of our goal to normalise conversation around menstruation, we will continue to create bold, culture-changing communications which provide everyone with a better way to talk about periods.
