As of this month girls and women of all ages living in Powys are able to request free period product packs to their homes.
Thanks to Welsh Government funding Powys County Council are offering a free home delivery service of eco friendly period products from social enterprise, Hey Girls. This is in addition to the period products already available in Powys schools, youth groups and food banks.
This is part of the efforts locally and nationally to tackle period poverty in communities and to promote period dignity across Wales. The council received funding from the Welsh Government to address period poverty in Powys communities.
In order to receive free period products sent direct to your home, visit www.powys.gov.uk/freeperiodproducts.
Individuals can complete the online form up to three times before the 31st March 2022.
