Plastic Free. Period – join, learn, explore, switch

Cllr Fiona Barrows said, "Plastic free period products are healthier, cheaper in the long-term, and much better for the planet. We want Frome to continue to lead the way when it comes to thinking differently about sustainability and how we can benefit along with the planet. We want to raise awareness about plastic-free period products and encourage people to make the switch by offering a discount of up to 25% from various local and online businesses."

Dr Helen Kingston, Senior Partner at Frome Medical Practice said, "Being able to give away free plastic free period packs for Frome’s young people on pupil premium and all year 8 and 9 students thanks to the fantastic support of local people really is something to shout about. We’ve already distributed 110 packs for young people in Frome and we are delighted to have more to give away at these events. The packs contain three pairs of great quality period pants from Cheeky Wipes, a reusable pad and a wash bag – a great starter for young people to experience healthier, cheaper and planet friendly periods. We really encourage parents and carers to come along and find out more."
