2019 - Think2Speak's 10,000 children supported milestone!

Period Conversation Starter Resource Launched
Social enterprise Think2Speak have received £10,000 from the Tampon Tax Community Fund and Lincolnshire Community Foundation to support the creation of resources to aid often difficult conversations around periods. The first resource in the series is for carers of children and young people in care.
Lizzie Jordan, Founder of Think2Speak, said: “Talking about periods can present a challenge for young people, and with some children starting their periods as early as age 8, access to information and support can make a huge difference. We look forward to using this money to create and distribute resources that can have a big impact on people’s lives.”
