Connecting with Charities: Period Poverty
In this Connecting with Charities webinar, we highlight the important work being done to address period poverty, both in the UK and around the world and welcome individuals and organisations who are shedding light on this critical issue and working to alleviate the challenges faced by girls and women.
We’ll be joined by:
