Brent Council widening access to free period supplies
Free period products will now be available at 16 locations in Brent, such as family wellbeing centres and libraries, as part of a joint initiative.
The Brent Council wants to help those unable to afford period supplies items by providing eco-friendly pads, tampons, and menstrual cups.
This comes after Brent's 2021 installation of free period product vending machines in public buildings.
The council is working with the social enterprise Hey Girls, which aims to eradicate period poverty, to expand their Period Dignity scheme.
"Hey Girls aims to remove shame and stigma surrounding periods and hope our education to council staff, free online educational resources, and products can help bring period dignity and awareness to local residents in Brent."
