The All Yours project is making period boxes for women HUNDREDS of vital period boxes have been delivered to women in the area during lockdown thanks to an initiative set up by a mother and daughter. Caroline Herman, 43, and her 14-year-old daughter Cara have set up a project to provide much needed period products to girls and women who may be struggling locally to access their own during the coronavirus pandemic. The All Yours project has seen hundreds of period boxes being delivered to women locally, as one charity revealed many women have been forced to find alternatives to sanitary wear including socks, newspapers, and toilet roll.
