ALL YOURS PERIOD BOXES

Christmas can be an expensive and tricky time for a lot of families, and local menstrual health and period education advocates organisation, All Yours, are here to support anyone who needs period products, either for themselves or their family members.

As this is a very busy time of year for them, if you require one of their period boxes, please order them sooner rather than later so they can ensure that it is with you before the Christmas holidays. The last date for requesting a period box in time for Christmas is Thursday 12 December.

All requests are free and confidential, and you can request your All Yours box here: https://www.allyoursbox.co.uk/request

BERKSHIRE YOUTH CHRISTMAS WISH SCHEME

As the festive season approaches, Berkshire Youth and the Waterside Centre have launched their Christmas Wish Tree – a heart-warming way for local businesses and individuals to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people in our community. You are invited to purchase a tree decoration that symbolises the wish of a child in our community.

How It Works:

• Select a wish from the young people’s list, which you can view here: BY Young People's Christmas Wish List, which highlights a need or enriching opportunities for local youth and young carers who might not otherwise have access to these resources.
• Once you’ve chosen a wish to support, Berkshire Youth will proudly display your decoration on their Christmas Wish Tree at the Waterside Centre, visible to the entire community.
• The tree decoration will showcase your business logo or your name, serving as a symbol of your generosity and commitment to making a difference.

Your donation will directly fund a wish for a young person who might not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy such an experience. They will keep the community engaged by sharing regular updates on social media, showcasing how contributions like yours are making a meaningful difference.
