Wc are now working wth over 200 centr¢5, foodballks, charities and organisations which 15 something we had
never ¢nvisaged, evth two yeaT5 ago.
Som¢ Of the Teque5ts we have received hav¢ been from much further afleld, such as Scotland and the South
coast. but we have always fow)d a way of working throu￿ this.
Two of thc main organisations hav¢ asked for 5UPPOrt in this way are The Field Studi¢s Coun¢il which hag
14 centres throughoui the aThJ WP who 0￿￿5 The Potteries Shopping C.¢ntre. We are already working
with The Pott¢ri¢s Slb)pping Centre and we have been asked to work wtth a couple more of their cenlres ifft th¢
UK. Agplin, we bav¢ managed to fi￿1 a way whi¢h 1$ WOTkable to both these or8anisations and ourselvcs.
Our work with Staff5 Girls and Ladi¢s Football League continues and we were again invited to their FinaEs day
where we hosted a stand and Verity gave out ¢ups and mcda15. This is 8 parth¢rship which we treasur¢ and IK)pe
to continue for years to come.
We were invited ￿ a nu]nber of events throughout th¢ y¢or, all of which proved to be ¢xtremely successful in
our att¢mpt to talk about the use of reusable p¢riod produds attd ￿ distribute thes¢ products to pcoplc who were
int¢rest¢d.
The work Mith reusable period products has, once again. been made p0s5iblc by Th¢ MerGer Family FouJMlalion
and their continud support and donations.
We must take thi5 Opportunity of ihanking Arnjadillo Stordge in Stokewon-Tr¢ni who hav¢ off¢r¢d ug our storage
space fret of charge and ¢hi$ saving ha5 allowed us to reach out to approximately 15,000 more women and gir18
than would have been possible.
A major thanks must be made to our fri¢nd ond long time support￿, Lyn SIMrpe. who during her tenure of lord
Mayor of Siokwn-Trcnl nominated us as one of her chosen charities. Lyn proved w be an amazing lord
MayoT, probably the best, and she raised appromatejy £48,000 io be divided between ourse]ves and Emmaus,
North Stsffs. We cannot thank her enough.
We still have re8ulxr do￿0[$ supporting our work on a monthly basis and the money they supply us Mith covers
much of our n)nning ¢osts. such as travel expenses, accout)tÉnts, insurance etc. Thry hav¢ ixen a coth51anl
thoughout our work tryit￿ to eradicale period poverty- Mas$iv¢ thank you to you all.
L￿ty, we have to thank our fabulou5 team of volunteers and Youth Ambassadors have always rtsponded

As this year has been extremely busy they have been ¢alled on far more often than is sometimes fair but tly
have always responded positively and with a smile. Thank you guys. Wc wouldnt be able to continuc our work
