💙We’d like to say thank you to Jasmine who lives locally and who has very kindly donated a few boxes of free sanitary products to the Trust as part of her campaign to ensure that women have the products they need, when they need them, for free.
💙Jasmine was at home aged 14, watching TV when she heard on the news that Scotland had become the first country in the world to provide free products to women, and set up a petition to enable this to happen throughout England whilst also working to donate boxes of free sanitary towels and tampons to various organisations locally.
💙Jasmine has already worked with Chesterfield Library and a local gym to ensure they have a stock of free products, and she is currently liaising with local schools and GP surgeries to provide some supplies to those too.
💬Jasmine said: “I know that some women don’t have access to products when they need them, and we hear that they use tissues – even socks – to protect them when they are on a period. They’re not normally free and available when they’re needed and I want to change that. Instead of waiting for things to change, I want to be the change and ensure that women always have what they need. Please can you support me by filling in the petition, or by helping me to stock up on products for our community.”
💬Abbie, Health and Wellbeing Lead said: “Thank you to Jasmine, this initiative is a wonderful thing to do and will make a real difference to women using the facilities here – and across the Trust. We have always had a few as a stock for emergencies but it’s so important that we have a really good stock here for women. Thank you to Jasmine, and to everyone throughout our community has supported her. These boxes will be available in toilets in the Hub for anyone to use.”
👉You can support Jasmine and sign the petition via the QR code on the flyer – and if you would like to donate some products then please email jasminetopley1@gmail.com to arrange.
💙Thank you Jasmine – this is very much appreciated.
