Period poverty is a massive issue in Aotearoa. We hope that by focusing on the community around us, we can make a significant difference by helping more people and organisations within our local community (encompassing the Wellington region and the Wairarapa) access period products. As of March 2024, we have put a hold on sending these items out due to lack of funding. We plan to resume sending free period packs to all of Aotearoa and will continue to work hard to ensure we have enough funding to reach this goal.
Here is a list of all the places you can get free single-use and reusable period items in Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua & and surrounding areas, Please note that we do not list the other charities we are in partnership with, just the community spaces you can access.
Due to funding, we no longer have spaces in Lower Hutt or Porirua where you can pick up free period items.
