Hey Girls has been named on Scotland Excel\u2019s washroom solutions and sanitary products framework, which will boost Scotland\u2019s drive to end period poverty.<\/p>\n
The framework underpins the recent Scottish Government pledge to provide free sanitary products in all schools, colleges and universities. The framework supports the initiative by giving Scotland\u2019s councils quick and easy access to a range of suppliers who they can source sanitary products from, and who are ready to do business.<\/p>\n
Celia Hodson, Founder of Hey Girls, said: \u201cWe are delighted that Scotland Excel has named Hey Girls as a supplier on the Scotland Excel framework. Including a Scottish social enterprise company such as ours to work alongside for profit or private limited companies in delivering this significant public sector contract marks a real step change in procurement frameworks, where social impact is equally valued alongside scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are a social enterprise \u2018through and through\u2019 and actively seek out like-minded, values driven organisations to work with – from where we source our products, to our supply chain, and the way we run our social business.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re also really proud of our high quality, environmentally friendly products. We don\u2019t believe that girls or young women should have to compromise on the quality of sanitary products just because they\u2019re being provided free of charge \u2013 we believe in quality, and period equality, for all\u201d.<\/p>\n
