Red Box Project - Help end Period Poverty

[Red Box Project SE]

The Red Box Project aims to quietly ensure that no young woman misses school or suffers embarrassment because she has her period.

It gives young women in need - whether for financial or social reasons - the reassurance of enough sanitary pads for their entire period plus a couple left over for next time. This is what makes it special.

It works by putting a red box filled with pads and pants into schools. Students take what's needed, and then it gets topped up again, with donations from the community of women supporting the project.

In SE London, there are several of us working as Red Box volunteers in East Dulwich, Peckham, Nunhead and Forest Hill. We have boxes in Harris Girls School, Harris Academy Peckham, Goose Green Primary, Heber, Bellenden and many other local schools.

We are committed to ensuring these boxes are regularly topped up and filled with supplies... which means we are always asking for donations! We have set up donation points locally at shops and busineess including:

- Rye Books, Northcross Road

- Punk Me Up Ceramic Cafe

- Goose Green Clinic, East Dulwich Road (will be set up this week)

- Daisy Lets Offices, Forest Hill

And the list of business supporting us is growing! If you could donation a pack of pad/towels (any absorbancies) to one of these donation points or send us a PM - we will come and pick up your donation! We are also on the look out for more local businesses to become donation points so let us know if you can help with that as well!
