S1 Ep 9: Jenny Hicken - The Red Box Project

This week’s topic is something I am passionate about and that needs to be talked about a lot more and that is periods, and why everyone needs to stop being embarrassed about mentioning periods or think they are something we need to hide. More needs to be done to help with the cost burden of having your period especially in young teenagers, and that leads onto this week’s guest, today I chat to the lovely Jenny who is a volunteer for The Red Box Project which is a non for profit organisation that helps supply schools with sanitary products for girls that may not have access to these products when on their period. And the stats on young girls missing school because of not having the right products when on their period is really upsetting. So keep listening to find out more.
