A heartfelt plea at a church door from a young mum has prompted a pioneering partnership to relieve period poverty and seen unprecedented acts of kindness from the people of Oldham.
Around 10% of girls told a UK survey that they were unable to afford sanitary products, and with lockdown poverty biting, that situation is only getting worse.
And hearing that more and more women are facing a choice between feeding their children or risking their health by resorting to unhygienic and potentially dangerous alternatives during their monthly cycle, Christ Church Chadderton has teamed up with Reel CIC and the Community Church Chadderton to distribute towels, tampons and tampax to visitors to their food pantries and other initiatives to help those in need.
