A Flintshire social enterprise has become an official partner of the enterprise Hey Girls which supplies community organisations with free sanitary products.

RainbowBiz CIC is a social enterprise based in Mold which was set up to promote equality and diversity.

The social enterprise runs a small allotment which aims to minimise isolation in the area and create a safe environment.

Founders, Sue Oliver and Sarah Way also set up a sustainable and ethical store, Hippy Shop, based in Mold to sell Fair Trade gifts and clothing in order to generate revenue throughout the year, which is reinvested back into the company. 

The community organisation announced last week that they have become an official donation partner with Hey Girls in an effort to end period poverty. 

Hey Girls is an award-winning buy-one, donate-one social enterprise, creating plant-powered period products that fund the fight to end period poverty in the UK.

The company partners with community organisations, like RainbowBiz CIC, across the UK to provide free period products and information for communities in need.

In a statement posted via social media RainbowBiz CIC said: "This means anyone who attends our projects will be able to access free period products. Our toilets are accessible and gender neutral and will enable the people we support to access period products in a discrete manner."

Director of RainbowBiz CIC Sarah Way said: "Sanitary items shouldn't be a luxury, this could have a huge impact on the people we support."

The products are currently on offer for anyone attending the group's projects or events and they are also able to provide leaflets such as period advice for dads. 

Sarah continued: "As an organisation we have joined the fight against period poverty and we want to raise awareness of this issue."
