It was was founded in March 2017 by three friends who wanted to give young people in their local area access to sanitary products. After reading about \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/plan-uk.org\/media-centre\/freeperiods-research-on-period-poverty-and-stigma\">Period Poverty<\/a>\u2018 in the news, they were angered at the idea that young women were missing out on their education because they couldn\u2019t afford the products they needed during their period.<\/p>\n<p>They decided to take action and contacted several secondary schools in Portsmouth to ask if a constantly stocked box of menstrual product would be welcomed. The feedback from teachers was that the issue was real and the resource was needed. Recognising that the need was nationwide, they invited individuals from across the country to be a part of this movement and the response was overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>In Sunderland, Marge regularly supplies Red Box items to one of our secondary schools, which are very well received and help girls struggling with &#8220;period poverty&#8221; in our own city.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about this project, go to their website\u00a0 http:\/\/redboxproject.org\/about\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunderland member, Marge Wilkinson, in championing the Red Box Project on behalf of our Club.\u00a0&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":603,"featured_media":374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Red Box Project | News | Blog | Events | SI Sunderland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Sunderland : Blog &amp; News : Red Box Project : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Sunderland .
