Group of young people take on fundraising walk to tackle period poverty in the North East

A group of young people took on a wacky fundraising walk to help raise awareness of period poverty in the North East.

The group, named the Menstrual Bakers, is working with the National Citizen Service (NCS) to help provide girls and women with period products who may not be able to afford them. One of the group's members, Corinne Monroe, said the group wanted to do something to help women.

And after hearing about how some young girls and women struggle to access essential period products like pads and tampons, Corrine and the group were determined to raise awareness. They also took on a sponsored walk and bake sale to help raise money for products that they then donated.
