Black Friday vs Period Poverty

Black Friday falls during the coldest month of the year. While many are spending money on not-so-essential goods, there are thousands living on our streets without access to basic necessities.

The most requested (and least donated) items for homeless people are socks and period products. For those without a home, having a period can be hugely difficult, shameful and painful. With limited access to pads or tampons, for many, the only option is to go without.

This Black Friday weekend, 26th November to 2nd December, we are donating 15% of STI test kits sales on Fettle to purchase period products for those without secure housing.
