Free Period Products
Funded by the Welsh Government, Powys County Council are working to promote period dignity.
To support girls and women of all ages, Powys Children's Commissioning is offering a free home delivery service, operated by award-winning social enterprise, Hey Girls. This is in addition to the period products already available in schools.
As part of the funding award, we are required to reach under-served communities, which Welsh Government describes as including Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, Gypsies, Roma and Travellers, Asylum seekers and refugees, disabled people and LGBTQ+. Please consider this when submitting your request.
Period products are available to school pupils via the school office or designated staff member in all schools. In secondaries there is also the option of coin-free vending machines. To find out more about the period dignity support for pupils in school contact education@powys.gov.uk
'Hey Girls' is a fantastic scheme to support period dignity, however there is a limited number of products available and we really want the products to be available for those who need them most. Please only request products if you are in need and do not have the means to access these any other way.
