Bloody Good Period

Who we are

We fight for menstrual equity* and the rights of all women and people who bleed.

Period products aren’t free and accessible in the UK, which means that many people can’t afford or access them. People who menstruate suffer because of the culture of embarrassment and shame that exists around this natural, biological process.

*Where the world is built for people who menstruate, and everyone benefits. Where no one is at a disadvantage just because they have a period. Sounds bloody great, right?

We give period products to those who can’t afford them and provide reproductive health education to those less likely to access it. And we help everybody talk about periods!

Our culture and values

We believe that:

Everybody should be able to care for their period in a way that works for them, and have the products, information and support they need (aka - everybody deserves a bloody good period)

We shouldn’t have to exist. This need should be factored into our society, including government provision, especially for the most vulnerable

The UK has a legal and moral obligation to provide safe, welcoming, humane asylum to people fleeing violence and persecution. The fact that this welcome is instead a deliberately and increasingly hostile environment means that we our work focuses on refugees and asylum seekers as a priority

Facilitating the personal choices and comfort of the people we work with is paramount. We empower and educate people on the options available to them, but ultimately prioritise their choice

It is critical that we aim to be sustainable in what we do, offering reusable products where possible and appropriate for the people we work with, whilst never burdening the people most affected but least responsible for climate change

We have the most impact when we work collaboratively and creatively as part of a network of organisations and individuals with shared goals and values

Disruption and challenge to the status quo is essential to achieving our vision

We are at our best when we are intersectional, inclusive, diverse, anti-racist and decolonial, with self-care embedded in all that we do.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We strongly encourage applications from Black and People of Colour, and from those who have lived experience of the issues on which we work, namely period poverty or menstrual inequity.
