SURREY BECOMES THE FIRST COUNTY IN ENGLAND TO PROVIDE FREE PERIOD PRODUCTS TO THOSE THAT NEED THEM
On Friday 28 May, on Menstrual Health Day 2021, Surrey County Council launched a ground-breaking initiative with charity Binti International, to provide free period products in selected locations across Surrey and be the first county council in the UK to start eradicating period stigma.
Donation bins and collection boxes where residents can help themselves to pads if needed, can be found in selected libraries across Surrey.
A Binti app is also available to download so residents can find the nearest location where free period products are available to collect and where you can donate. The app is available to download on the Apple app store for IOS users or the Google Play store for Android users.
