Tackling Period Poverty in the UK with Free Vend Machines
Period poverty means a lack of access to menstrual products and facilities, most often experienced by low income families who cannot afford them.The UK government has introduced a funding scheme to allow free feminine hygiene products in schools and colleges.
A recent survey by Action aid showed that nearly half (46%) of women who struggled to afford sanitary products in the last 6 months kept sanitary pads or tampons in for longer, or used tissues and 10% doubled up their underwear.
We are supporting the government scheme at B Hygienic by providing solutions for free vend dispensers. This will allow more businesses and settings to provide hygiene products for those who may need them.
Our team are happy to help with any enquiries you may have and support ways to help prevent period poverty.
