Council to provide free period products to
anyone that needs them across the county and
became the first County in England to do so.
Anyone can walk into nearly 60 locations across
the county and pick up period products or
donate pads for those that need them. This
ground breaking initiative is designed to ensure
nobody has to use toilet paper in between
buying period products or when they get cut
short.
SCC will also work with Binti to eradicate stigma
and taboo with our Dignity at Work Campaign.
Morrisons in Weybridge also joined the Dignity at
Work campaign along with a number of smaller
businesses. The church in Weybridge has also started
with the free provision.
Binti was able to diversify its offerings during the
Pandemic and help a local housing estate for the
elderly with the provision of free food bi-weekly and
running errands for them during lockdown and
whilst they were vulnerable with the effects of Covid.
We signed up several organisations internationally
too, including Theramex a pharmaceutical company
with over 500 employees globally to our Dignity at
Work Campaign. They also ran a fundraising event
internally for International Women’s Day.
Our Founder and CEO Manjit K Gill was awarded an
MBE for her services of the provision of period
products globally by Her Majesty the Queen for her
birthday honours.| |---|---|---| Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against
