Girls from deprived families having to attend school without hygiene products during their periods is leaving teachers feeling helpless, a charity has said.
The shocking evidence of period poverty affecting local schoolgirls has become apparent this week as a Co Down 'Hygiene Bank' reaches out to the public.
The Moira-based charity, which covers Lisburn, Portadown and Craigavon areas, is calling out to women and girls in need as well as for people willing to make hygiene product donations to make contact.
