Our celebration of International Women’s Week comes to a close with the accountment that FC United of Manchester have teamed up with Aunt Flow and Citron Hygiene to provide free period products at Broadhurst Park Stadium to help tackle period poverty.

The dispenser is located in the ground floor accessible toilet and is free for any females to use.

Myself and the girls are extremely proud to be able to support this campaign and take away any stigma and embarrassment females suffer from having their period.”
