Period Dignity

Since 2019 all Local Authorities in Wales have received funding from Welsh Government, known as the ‘Period Dignity Grant’, to help tackle period poverty across Wales.

Young People

In Flintshire all Primary and Secondary schools receive a portion of this funding to support their learners. Each school may spend their funds slightly differently, but they all have the same objective of providing free period products to be distributed in the most practical and dignified way possible.

Communities

The grant also supports our communities by providing free resources and support via key points of help, such as food banks, community support Hubs and Adult Community Learning Locations. Please follow the links below to identify a location near you:

Social Change UK created ‘Bloody Brilliant’ on behalf of NHS Wales and the Welsh Government to open up the conversation and provide information on period health, so generations of young people don't suffer in silence through fear of speaking out or lack of understanding around what's normal when it comes to periods.
