At Wrexham Council we work with local organisations to provide access to period products, free of charge, to support people from lower income households. We aim to make sure that products are easily accessible and provided in the most practical and dignified way possible.

This work is supported by a Welsh Government grant and done in partnership with the charity Wings Wrexham.
