We have teamed up with Menstruation Matters Belfast to run our first Charity Fundraiser. Instead of charging an entrance fee, we are asking attendees to bring along unopened period products. This can be a small box of sanitary pads, a couple of sealed tampons, or a pack of unused underwear. This will not only help someone out there who cannot access period products but also counter against the stigma around periods.


11.30am: Pre-event Refreshments
12pm: Introduction: We ask that all attendees be seated at this point to allow for the panel event to start.
12.10pm: Hear from the Panel: All speakers will be allowed some time to talk about their life story, any barriers they faced as women in their career and what they have learned.
12.50pm: Q&A: All attendees will have the opportunity to ask the speakers a question.
1.20pm: Feel free to network and continue your conversations until 2pm!
