Our community is built on connection, creativity and inclusion. We support and organise events that bring people together – from lively, family fun days in summer to cultural celebrations for ethnic minority communities as well as marking important days such as Mental Health and Challenge Poverty Week.
Accessing free period products across community events
Community Events 2025/2026
So far in 2025/2026, we have distributed over 65,000 units of free period products across 28 community events. 9 of these events were through stalls held to celebrate the Period Dignity Week 2026 themed on improving period dignity and supporting the wellbeing of community members.
These events continue to demonstrate the value of supporting community member's wellbeing, promoting open and safe conversations around period dignity and increasing awareness of the 100 community locations where residents can access products year round. These help reduce stigma and ensures fair access to free period products for everyone in North Lanarkshire.
Community Events 2024/2025
In 2024/2025, we distributed over 98,000 free period products at 38 community events. 12 of these were focused specifically on period dignity, offering both reusable and single-use options.
A key highlight was the pilot Period Dignity Week in February 2025, which provided free products across 12 stalls in nine localities.
These events demonstrated the value of not only providing free products but also creating safe, welcoming spaces for conversations about periods. These help reduce stigma and ensures fair access to period products for everyone in North Lanarkshire.
