We are on a mission to end Period Poverty in the UK

We believe that access to period products is a right, not a privilege. Access to free period products is something so simple yet so important and we are proud to be part of the change, part of the acknowledgement and part of the conversation. This is more than a job, it’s more than turning up 9 to 5, it’s more than just working in an amazing team… It’s about being part of a viable and growing start-up enterprise that is driving sustainable social change. Are you up for the challenge?

BUY ONE GIVE ONE

In the two years since Hey Girls was founded, we have donated over 10 million products across the UK.

MORE THAN JUST RETAILERS

We have over 200 donation partners that we work with who ensure that our products are received and given to girls and women in need.

WHAT'S NEXT?

We’re already working with partners on exciting new campaigns to raise awareness of period poverty and break down stigma. We’ll be adding new products to our range as period pants hit the shelves. And we are expanding the Hey Girls team into England.

    DATA ENGINEER

    Our Purpose

    Our aim is to combat illicit online trade by identifying and removing counterfeits for sale. Counterfeits not only damage brands, their reputations, and revenues, but can cause significant harm to the end customer – whether as a fake toy or a fake medicine – and the consequences can be life threatening.

    Counterfeiting is a significant economic and social issue.

    The OECD reports that counterfeit and fake goods make up more than 3.3% of the world’s global trade. Those involved in the trade of counterfeits have been linked to people trafficking, prostitution, and drug dealing.

    As such, reducing illicit trade is about much more than brand protection but also about human rights, safety, and social equity.

    And this is what we do, every day.

    Our Environment

    We deliver purpose-driven work from an extremely welcoming environment near the City Centre. We actively encourage the responsible use of resources, from using public transport to reuse, recycling, and, of course, a minimal impact office environment. We have benefited from the advice of the Energy Saving Trust and Resource Efficient Scotland. Our waste contractor also provides us with a monthly report on volumes and types of material and the carbon emissions avoided through recycling.

    Over 80% of our employees can walk or cycle to The Lair and, pre-pandemic, 10% were using public transport as their normal daily commuting mode. Without doubt, online meetings will replace considerable miles, going forward, saving resources, time and energy. Where possible, when possible, the train remains our preferred option.
