Prints for Pads

23/12/2021

Great morning spent volunteering at Coventry Foodbank today. The final donations of the year have been dropped off, and with the help of Morrisons Binley Community Champion, across 2021 we will have now distributed way over 10,000 pads in total to those who need them across the city. Thank you so much to everyone who got involved to donate and support throughout the year - seeing it all come together has been incredible and I can’t wait to continue fundraising in the new year! 💛✨

10k done!! Thanks so much to everyone who’s supported and donated over the last couple of months! I’ll be withdrawing the funds next week to start purchasing more pad donations, but until then the JustGiving link is still in the bio 💛💛💛

Let’s do this then! 2 months to prep, 10k to run, and no doubt a million aches and pains to be acquired 🤪

New running shoes have been bought and training starts tomorrow! If you would like to make a donation/ sponsor then the JustGiving link is still active on the page x
And to any friends or family reading this: the invite is still warmly there to join too ;))

NEW PRINTS!! 🌿💚

With sustainability being at the forefront of priorities to Prints for Pads and how we can continue to help responsibly, a percentage of donations from prints moving forward will now begin to go towards funding reusable pads as well as single use.

More expensive to initially obtain? Yes. But longer lasting for the individual and better for the environment? BIG yes.

It is hoped that this introduction of reusable pad donations will help to alleviate the strain felt by those who struggle to access places like foodbanks regularly, with their lifespan of up to 150 washes reducing the number of visits necessary per person.

If you’d be interested in a new print, please feel free to take a look on the page and make a donation through the JustGiving link letting me know which one you would like!

And they’re off! 4000 pads have now been donated at Coventry Foodbank today, to be distributed out to those who need them. Thank you again to everyone who has donated to Prints for Pads so far to make this possible💛

This picture shows exactly 4000 individual pads, which are now ready to be donated to Coventry Foodbank. For a very rough idea, the average person requires around 25 pads per period; and so with this many donated, these pads have the potential therefore to help approximately 160 in managing their next period effectively!
What this picture also shows is the great level of compassion and generosity from everyone in the last month who has interacted with and donated to this project, and for that I want to say a huge thank you!! Each and every contribution really does mean so much 💛
Stay tuned for what Prints for Pads has in store moving forward. The page will be staying open as I can’t wait to keep this up and really build on this effort to help x

Just wanted to update you all and say that with the goal of £250 being so close in sight now (thank you!!!), by the end of the week I will be withdrawing the funds raised on the JustGiving page for Prints for Pads. I can’t wait to be able to ensure that these donations can start to be placed and that you can actually see the difference you will be helping to make! Thank you so so much to everyone who has supported Prints for Pads so far, I’ve been completely overwhelmed by all the messages, support and funds received for this project!! 💛

Slightly outdated, this video - nevertheless the same still applies to so many others across the UK today. No one should ever have to ‘survive’ their period, or be left helpless in trying to manage it with dignity.

Thousands of women in the UK cannot afford to buy sanitary products.Research by the charity Plan International suggests that one in 10 girls and women - aged...

Drag race day is almost upon us and only a couple of Bimini prints are now left from the first batch! Whether you’re he/she or them, show some support for the rightful queen of drag (not a joke, just a fact) and check out the JustGiving link to donate and cop a new print, hun! It’s all for a good cause 💛
