As the year drew to a close, Scrub the Stigma brought students together for Period of Giving: a festive charity event centred around compassion, education and international impact.

Sponsored by the Vavengers, the event invited students to assemble period packs for schools in Lagos, Nigeria, helping to improve access to essential menstrual products and support young people experiencing period poverty. Packs consisted of sanitary products, clothes, skincare, toiletries, stationery and other thoughtful gifts, ensuring each package offered both practical support and care.

More than simply packing donations, the evening encouraged conversations about period poverty and the barriers many girls face in accessing menstrual products and education. By raising awareness alongside collecting donations, the event highlighted the importance of tackling period stigma on both a local and global scale.
