Hey Girls are thrilled to announce a new partnership with HC One, Britain’s largest care home operator.
HC-One colleagues now have access to our free disposable and reusable period products across its nationwide network of homes thanks to the partnership alongside distributor Lyreco.
The partnership covers all 267 care homes operated by HC-One, alongside its support office in Darlington, reaching thousands of colleagues nationwide.
Anna Selby, Director of Kind Care at HC-One, said: “We are really pleased to offer our colleagues environmentally-friendly period products from Hey Girls.
“Kind care is at the heart of what we do at HC-One, both for our residents but also for our colleagues.
“We were drawn to working with Hey Girls in particular because they match each of our purchases with a donation to their community partners. We’re pleased to be able to support both our colleagues as well as Hey Girls’ crucial work in communities across the country.
“We have already had great feedback from our colleagues and we look forward to seeing our partnership with Hey Girls flourish.”
We work with companies across the country in introducing period dignity schemes in the workplace, with every purchase matched with a donation to our network of more than 350 community partners.
Organisations to benefit from the new partnership include refuges, foodbanks and homeless shelters nationwide.
Ailsa Colquhoun, our Partnerships and Contracts Manager, said: “All of us at Hey Girls are delighted to partner with HC-One.
“Partnerships like this have helped us donate more than 30 million period products to people in need over the last five years – and a partnership on this scale is going to make a huge difference to our community partner network.
“It is fantastic to see a company on the scale of HC-One stand up and join our fight for period dignity in the workplace and our overall battle to end period poverty in the UK once and for all.”
Mark Gould, Strategic Account Manager at Lyreco, added: “All of us at Lyreco are fully behind Hey Girls’ mission to improve period dignity in the workplace for everyone in the UK.
“Partnerships like this are a fantastic way of combatting the issue while supporting vulnerable people in our communities living in period poverty.
“We are very proud to have helped form this fantastic partnership.”
