AXA UK has today announced a partnership with Hey Girls, a social enterprise aiming to eradicate period poverty in the UK. AXA UK will be providing free, environmentally friendly period products in all their female and gender-neutral washrooms, to help end period poverty and remove the stigma around periods.
Following trials in AXA’s Teesside, Bristol and Bolton offices, which gained positive feedback from employees, the products will now be available throughout AXA’s UK offices, supporting employee wellbeing in a sustainable way.
Hey Girls is on a mission to eradicate period poverty in the UK, aiming to make free period products in the workplace the norm. The product range is completely organic, vegan friendly and biodegradable, all the way down to the packaging.
To further support, Hey Girls is built on a ‘Buy One Give One’ model. This means for every order placed, Hey Girls will match and donate to people across the UK, via food banks, community groups, schools and charities to support those who need it.
