<\/p>\nHey Girls are thrilled to announce a new partnership with HC One, Britain\u2019s largest care home operator.<\/p>\n
HC-One colleagues now have access to our free disposable and reusable period products across its nationwide network of homes thanks to the partnership alongside distributor Lyreco.<\/p>\n
The partnership covers all 267 care homes operated by HC-One, alongside its support office in Darlington, reaching thousands of colleagues nationwide.<\/p>\n
Anna Selby, Director of Kind Care at HC-One, said: \u201cWe are really pleased to offer our colleagues environmentally-friendly period products from Hey Girls.<\/p>\n
\u201cKind care is at the heart of what we do at HC-One, both for our residents but also for our colleagues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were drawn to working with Hey Girls in particular because they match each of our purchases with a donation to their community partners. We\u2019re pleased to be able to support both our colleagues as well as Hey Girls\u2019 crucial work in communities across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have already had great feedback from our colleagues and we look forward to seeing our partnership with Hey Girls flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n
We work with companies across the country in introducing period dignity schemes in the workplace, with every purchase matched with a donation to our network of more than 350 community partners.<\/p>\n
Organisations to benefit from the new partnership include refuges, foodbanks and homeless shelters nationwide.<\/p>\n

Ailsa Colquhoun, our Partnerships and Contracts Manager, said: \u201cAll of us at Hey Girls are delighted to partner with HC-One.<\/p>\n
\u201cPartnerships like this have helped us donate more than 30 million period products to people in need over the last five years \u2013 and a partnership on this scale is going to make a huge difference to our community partner network.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is fantastic to see a company on the scale of HC-One stand up and join our fight for period dignity in the workplace and our overall battle to end period poverty in the UK once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
