What Drives Us?

Our Mission

Our mission as a charity is to provide practical support for those suffering with menstrual health concerns and conditions. We do this by providing educational tools and resources — such as our toolkits — and hosting seminars and events. We are aware of the challenges those suffering with these conditions and concerns can face, so aim to empower people with accurate information to make informed choices.

As a charity, we strive to help people navigate these conditions more confidently, accurately, and comfortably — whatever stage in life they are at. Our main aim is to improve the education and understanding of menstrual health within all educational and workplace settings.

Our Vision

Our vision is to create a world where menstrual health is no longer stigmatised or considered a taboo. We want to help normalise menstrual health in society — but this goes beyond no longer feeling the need to hide a tampon up your sleeve when you go to the bathroom. 

It’s about people being educated about their bodies, knowing correct terminology, and among other things, knowing what is normal when it comes to menstrual health and what isn’t.

We envision a future of empowered and informed individuals when it comes to menstrual health, regardless of their gender.

Testimonials

“Just wanted to say a big thank you to both for coming to speak to the Psychology students at the University of Warwick. The session was really informative, and it was great to see students and staff come to listen to your talk, and if it helps just one person to gain the knowledge and help that they need then it was worth it. I am hoping that it started discussions after they went away (I know it did in our office) and that they went home to talk to their friends and family too. I left the leaflets out in our student common room, hoping that others who see these, pick them up and read them. I am sure that the department would love to have you visit again next year.”

“I am just clearing my desk for the weekend, and I could not log off without sending a huge thank you both for the session this evening.

 

Your passion for improving the lives of young people, and breaking down barriers around menstrual health is infectious, and I really enjoyed the session.”

“Just a quick email to congratulate you both on these amazing resources. It’s fantastic to have resources of this quality available in both English and Welsh.”

“I was on my own on the day so struggled to get many photos, however I have NO toolkits left, nothing, aside from a few WM copies, they were incredibly popular, both the Endo one and the menstrual health one, the girls seemed really keen and the health and well-being team at the collage also took a couple to have at their hub. I left a few of your cards with them too so they can reach out to you as they have a huge menstrual health positive campaign they are pushing.”

“The Menstrual Health Project talk was really engaging and informative, covering such a broad range of topics and conditions (some that I’d never even known about before!). I particularly liked their toolkits – the under 18s toolkit would have been so valuable when I was a teenager. It’s great that these kind of resources are out there now and the Menstrual Health Project are tackling the stigma and taboo around such an important topic.”

“I attended a session with Gabz and it was really useful and interesting. Gabz was clear and informative but also open and honest which made the session feel more relatable.

 

I already knew some bits about menstrual health but this was a great overview that gave me a good understanding of what people of all ages can experience and also gave me the knowledge to support others, which is especially useful in my role as I work with young people.

 

This topic is so important as it can affect so many people, and without a good understanding people of all ages can suffer unnecessarily as they don’t know what help they might be able to get, so spreading awareness and sessions like this are so vital. I found the advice around how to ask for help, both from your GP and at work especially valuable. Everyone should know more about this!”

“Thanks so much for this very eye opening talk. I had no idea how serious this condition could be and I certainly feel better informed as a result of you sharing your stories. Thank you both.”

“Today’s session with the founders of the Menstrual Health Project was incredibly informative, enlightening and devastating. I’m grateful for what they are doing to bring more awareness to menstrual health challenges and providing toolkits to women who are suffering and may not have the support system or resources to get the help they need and deserve.”

“I thought your talk at DHL Rugby on 27/09/24 was so powerful and moving. You’re both amazing strong women. Thank you for all the work you’re doing.”

 

“So pleased awareness is growing around these subjects.  I recognised so much of Anna and Gabz experiences from my own family’s endometriosis experience.”

 

“Grateful and impressed that this topic has been brought to a team meeting, thank you.”

 

“I was very ignorant of many of the topics raised during this session and am appreciative to time having been made to shine a big light on them.  I cannot believe just how much these two women and many more out there have been through and continue to go through.”
