Today is World Kindness Day, a day celebrated around the world with random acts of kindness and good deeds.

At the Red Box Project, we run on kindness. And we know the difference tiny acts can make to people?s lives.

Like that packet of pads someone kindly donated in an office collection a couple of weeks ago. That was kindly packaged up and sent to us by their Marketing Manager. That was bagged up last night by one of our coordinators and today is being delivered to a big south east London secondary school. Where one day soon, a girl will start her period in the middle of a lesson. With nothing in her bag, she?ll go and ask for the Red Box and she will find that pack of pads.

And because of that tiny moment of kindness in a central London office a few weeks ago, she?ll carry on with her day. Thinking about what she?s learning. Doing sports. Joining in with her friends. Preparing for her future.

That?s the power of kindness.

If you?d like to celebrate World Kindness Day with us today, you can...

❤️ Drop a packet of period products into your local donation box. You can find your nearest listed here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?

❤️ Donate ?5 to us so we can buy some fresh underwear to put in our boxes https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfund?/redboxprojectselondon1

See how good it feels ❤️

It?s official: the John Lewis advert is out. Christmas is coming!

?

We want all of our young people to have a great Christmas. To help make sure their period doesn?t get in the way, we?ll be working with all of our schools to ensure they have a top up of donations before the break and can send girls off with what they need for the whole holiday.

?

So when you?re planning your Christmas jumper, your Christmas PJs and your Christmas Eve movie, please think about putting a pack of pads or even some special Christmas pants into one of our donation boxes. Or why not consider a reverse advent calendar or Christmas office collection to support local schools? We can send you posters so you have everything you need.

?

Your support will make a great difference to young people in south east London.

Hi Terri

Good to see Sainsburys DKH and Dulwich Hamlet FC shop are backing this worthwhile project.

I sent you a pm recently regarding a local GP surgery who are interested in obtaining a Red Box.
