With less than a week to go until our Women’s team start the 2023-2024, we have some absolutely superb news to announce this evening…
Bolton County FC are delighted to be able to state that we are now an official Hey Girls UK Community Partner – and this really is massive for us as we move forward!
At Hey Girls, they are revolutionising periods as the only social enterprise that donates 100% of their profit to funding the fight to eradicate period poverty and lobby for period dignity across the UK.
In under 5 years, they have become the main provider of period products to the Scottish and Welsh government, delivered on huge corporate accounts and won tender contracts over big commercial names.
They are proud to be female-led and the only company to match their product sales exactly as donations – when you buy one, they donate one.
As social enterprise of the year, they break records, boundaries, and bias when it comes to period equality to ensure everyone has access to sustainable products and inclusive education – for free!
Hey Girls distribute donations via their UK wide community partner network who work on the frontline to support vulnerable people – and that’s where we come in! For every box sold, Hey Girls then donate a box to somebody in need in the UK – and working together, the plan is to eradicate period poverty as far and as wide as we can. So this is how we’ll do our bit:
– Bolton County FC will now be providing free-access to period products at The County Ground, Radcliffe Road – and encouraging period dignity for all
– We will be asking (and reminding!) you all to click on the link and see what Hey Girls do, how they operate and get your hands on some of their fabulous products

We are really proud to be joining forces with Hey Girls as one of their UK Communuity Partners so let’s all get behind this campaign and do our bit to ensure that every single women and girl out there has access to sanitary-wear whenever they need it!
