Description

Period Angels is a one-stop platform for tackling period poverty. It directs USERS (those experiencing period poverty) to free period products in their local area; enables VOLUNTEERS (e.g. schools) who collect period products and connects them to local ORGANISATIONS (e.g. food banks) who require free products for those in need.
Until now, our passionate Volunteers would collect period products and send them to us to distribute to food banks and charities who were serving those experiencing period poverty. We helped many but it was disjointed, expensive and not very eco-friendly! We needed a transparent and comprehensive way to facilitate the whole process and one which would help forge long-term sustainable relationships within communities, to serve the needs of those experiencing period poverty.

Definitions:
USERS - those experiencing period poverty and are looking for free period products
VOLUNTEERS - individuals, schools, community or corporate teams who collect period products to tackle period poverty
ORGANISATIONS - such as food banks and women’s projects who provide free products to those in need

HOW IT WORKS

The Period Angels app serves 3 groups:
VOLUNTEERS (INDIVIDUALS, SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY OR CORPORATE TEAMS) collect period products to donate to their local food banks and charity organisations. Volunteers will view a list of local Organisations and what period products they require. They will select the Organisation that they choose to supply and arrange delivery of their collections to them.
ORGANISATIONS (FOOD BANKS, HOMELESS WOMEN’S CHARITIES OR SHELTERS) who need period products for their users, sign up and list their details and their level of period product requirement based on the number of Users per month.
USERS (THOSE EXPERIENCING PERIOD POVERTY) can log in to the app and be directed to the nearest location where free period products are available based upon either the user's GPS location or postcode. Users can filter their search on the type of products available and find where exactly the products are located.

Additional features:
Official resources such as posters and branding for Volunteer collectors and Organisations
Certificates of Recognition awarded to Volunteers
The Period Angels app also provides menstrual health education in the special Planet Period FAQ’s section, from our founding partner Gift Wellness, who provide natural period products and have been tackling period poverty since 2012.
Those not wishing to Volunteer, but simply wanting to purchase plastic free period products to be delivered on their behalf to Organisations can do so via the Gift Wellness period poverty page on the app. Gift Wellness only provide products which are plastic free and made with natural ingredients.

WHO WE ARE:
Period Angels is a partnership between Gift Wellness (giftwellness.co.uk), a social enterprise company and the Gift Wellness Foundation (periodpoverty.uk) a charity registered in Britain.
