Councils across the UK are stepping up in the fight to end period poverty by championing equality and diversity with Hey Girls.
\nProviding free period products is in an inclusive initiative to ensure dignity for all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every project with councils is bespoke so we can work collaboratively with you to ensure the right products reach your community. We work with all budgets, big and small.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve built successful relationships with over 80 councils across the UK, providing millions of period products to staff, public spaces and via our unique home pack service.<\/p>\n

Hey Girls is a key partner in the Scottish Government\u2019s provision of free period products and we supply a vast majority of Scottish Local Authorities, alongside several colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re the experts in best practices for distribution of free products to the public sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

FAQs<\/h2>\n
\n \n
\n \n

Why should we partner with Hey Girls?<\/p>\n <\/g><\/svg>\n <\/a>\n

\n

Hey Girls is good for society as well as for nature. We offer sustainable and award-winning period products whilst also tackling period poverty. Also, we have experience working with a range of businesses across the UK, providing guidance on period dignity in the workplace.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n \n

Why have \u2018girls\u2019 in your name when not all people that menstruate identify as female?<\/p>\n <\/g><\/svg>\n <\/a>\n

\n

Hey Girls was set up by Celia and her two daughters Bec and Kate after experiencing period poverty first hand themselves when Celia was a single mum. Celia used to always greet Kate and Bec by saying \u2018hey girls!\u2019 as a term of endearment. It was not intended to be exclusive.<\/p>\n

We have been working behind the scenes to become more inclusive and have big plans to ensure we are supporting diversity and equality around period care and education.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve changed our packaging to be more inclusive (removing images of girls from the boxes), widened the messaging to change to \u2018people\u2019 rather than \u2018girls\u2019 and \u2018women\u2019 from our resources and website.<\/p>\n

We work very closely with The Diversity Trust<\/a> and focus groups to create educational resources, lesson plans and campaigns to ensure LGBTQIA+, BME and disability communities are part of everything we do.<\/p>\n

We also have extensive educational resources on www.myperiod.org.uk<\/a> – a website designed to create awareness and education around periods, that has been designed as more of a gender neutral menstrual educational tool.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n

\n \n

How do we incorporate reusables into our period dignity campaign?<\/p>\n <\/g><\/svg>\n <\/a>\n

\n

We offer reusable pants, pads and period cups. When cared for, these can last between 5 and 10 years. Although a higher price point than the disposables, they are better for the environment and more sustainable for your staff. Imagine being able to hand your staff reusables and knowing they may not need to worry about buying disposable period products for 5-10 years? Magic.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
