Bloody Good Period provide products to those who can’t afford them and provide reproductive health education to those less likely to access it. Everybody needs to talk about periods! * If you need help accessing period products, please reach out to your local food bank or community organisation. Bloody Good Period works with more than 100 partners like these organisations, via our pad-to-partner model, rather than sending out products to individuals. If your local org doesn't provide period products, please ask them to do so, because everybody deserves a bloody good period! Bloody Good Period also provide support to international crisis's, and are also providing support to those in the Turkey-Syria disaster. If you're able to donate, you can help Bloody Good Period get more period products to more partners - they currently have a growing waiting list as the cost of living crisis bites.
