“The idea for We-Stap (We Supply Toiletries and Products to women in need) was created many years ago, when I worked as a health visitor. I visited a client who lived with her partner & was experiencing domestic abuse. Her partner didn't buy her anything and wouldn't give her any money either. I enquired how she manged when she had her period. She started crying & told me that she had to use toilet paper. I was very shocked by this and decided to raise funds to purchase menstrual products for her. I left the role and didn't know what happened to her.
However, I knew she couldn't be the only woman experiencing this and felt I had to do something about it”. ” Jackie Morrison (We-STAP Founder & Chairperson) At We-Stap our primary aim is to provide toiletries & products to women in need in Croydon. However, we also aspire to raise their self-esteem and to promote their emotional well-being. Items we distribute include menstrual towels, tampons, shower gels, toothpastes, toothbrushes & deodorants; which are kindly donated by our supporters.
Did you know 1 in 10 girls & young women in the UK aged 14-21 experience financial difficulties purchasing menstrual products each month? There are a many groups who cater specifically for homeless women or women experiencing domestic abuse. We cater for women e.g who have no recourse to public funds & women facing financial hardships. Women have to be referred to us, as we do not have the capacity to complete assessment. Referrals are accepted from various sources e.g. local groups, health professionals, HomeStart etc. We need your support! Can you sew?
