Raising awareness of period poverty and sustainable period products

It's that time of year again - I'm fundraising for charity with 100% of the money from my handmade card and other craft sales going to another important cause. 

As it's Plastic Free July I'm also trying to spread the word on switching to plastic free products and encourage people to consider switching to sustainable options. Therefore I've chosen to support Hey Girls which I hope will also make more people aware of period poverty in the UK. Not only do they have a range of reasonably priced sustainable period products available to purchase, they have a "buy one, give one" pledge which means all purchases support those with periods who are in need.

If you need a handmade card, now's the time to stock up. Get in touch via email at jadedcrafter@gmail.com to place an order. All money raised will be donated to Hey Girls which will also mean my donation will be doubled through their Buy One Give One model.
