People living in the Highlands now have free access to our period products in their homes thanks to a new partnership.<\/p>\n

Households throughout the region can now order our home packs for free thanks to the partnership with The Highland Council.<\/a><\/p>\n

The arrangement means those living in remote locations with limited access to existing community pick-up points can have six months\u2019 worth of our disposable and reusable products delivered straight to their door.<\/p>\n

Georgie Nicholson, our Partner and Contracts Manager, said: \u201cWe are delighted to partner with The Highland Council and ensure no households are left without the support they need.<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunity pick-up points are a fantastic way to ensure people have a place to access free period products, but it is so important those in more rural areas don\u2019t miss out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so pleased to work with another local authority that shares our passion for ending period poverty in Scotland once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partnership comes following Scotland\u2019s world-first Period Products (Free Provision) Act, making the access to free period products a legal right \u2013 and shortly after we were named Social Enterprise of the Year at the Social Enterprise Scotland Awards.<\/p>\n

Cllr Graham Mackenzie, Chair of The Highland Council\u2019s Communities and Place Committee said: \u201cThanks to our work with partners, many will benefit from the availability of free period products in Highland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will particularly ease the financial burden on low-income households, which is especially welcome in the context of the cost-of-living crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those living in the Highlands can also locate their nearest community pick-up location thanks to our world-first PickupMyPeriod app.<\/p>\n

The app, which earned us the Tech for Good Award<\/a> at this year\u2019s UK Social Enterprise Awards, includes the location of more than 1,500 free period product collection points across Scotland.<\/p>\n

More than 80 of those locations are located in The Highland Council area.<\/p>\n
