Joining forces with the Jersey Reuse Revolution since 2021 (originally named Jersey Sustainable Period Products Project) our aim is to provide every Year 6 girl in the Island with a eco-friendly washable period pad. The bags are kindly delivered to every Primary School in the Island by the Children, Young People, Education & Skills Department in March each year. The bags are given to the girls during a PSHE lesson so conversations can be started and questions can be answered by their teachers.<\/p>\n
