Menstrual Justice is a communal responsibility. We are rooted in our local community of Sheffield, building a local case study of what can be achieved globally.
Our Network of Period Product Banks
Irise has developed a network of 11 period product banks across Sheffield, hosted by community partners, ensuring that everyone in our city - including the most marginalised groups, such as young people experiencing homelessness, trafficking, or seeking asylum - can access the period products they need. Each year, our dedicated volunteers distribute thousands of products through these banks, providing judgement-free access to a wide range of options, from disposable pads and tampons to reusable menstrual cups and period pants. We also offer workshops and training for our community partners to build knowledge, confidence, and drive menstrual justice in our home communties.
Get in touch if you’d like to host a bank or donate products to support our work.
We also work with Sheffield City Council to ensure that youth-voice is centred in the development of the UK’s first city-wide Period & Menopause Charter.
