Menstrual health matters and access to products and education should never be a barrier.
Through the Period Promise campaign, United Way Peterborough & District is working to address period poverty in our communities.
On Menstrual Hygiene Day, we call for dignity, access, and inclusion for all.

#IDAHOBIT
Last week, nearly 60 community members came together at our Solutions Summit to share ideas, build connections, and help shape the future of Reconciliation, Equity, Accessibility, Diversity, and Inclusion (READI) work across Peterborough City & County.
The conversations were thoughtful, honest, and inspiring, and we know there are still more voices to hear.
Weβre now inviting the broader community to help inform how up to $300,000 through our new Priority Issues Fund will be invested over the next 18 months.
Whether you attended the Summit or not, we want your insight.
π Complete the Priority Issues Fund Survey before Tuesday, May 19 at 10:00 a.m. and help shape this work moving forward.
