Women's Staff Network call for donations for Periods Matter

The Women's Staff Network is collecting for the Christmas Appeal from Periods Matter.

If you are looking for a charity to donate to instead of writing Christmas cards, why not consider Periods Matter? You can also volunteer to pack up parcels, see the details below.  We will have a University collection point based at the Student Life Helpdesk in the Harrison Library, City Campus.

Period Matters Reverse Advent Calendar

With the Christmas season upon us, we'd like you to help us make a difference for women and girls experiencing period poverty in our community. Instead of receiving, we’re encouraging you to give – one thoughtful item a day to help create our Pamper Hampers.

🌍 Did you know that 1 in 10 girls in the UK can't afford period products? Many miss school, work, or social activities because they lack access to the essentials. Periods Matter is here to change that by providing support and tackling the stigma around periods.

🛍️ Here's what we’re collecting:

Pads, tampons, soap, cleansing wipes, underwear/period pants, hot water bottles, hairbrush/comb, chocolate, deodorant, socks, toothbrush/toothpaste, and a special Christmas gift.

📍 Drop-off point from 2nd to 6th December
