Autumn Open International and Cross-Country Experience are Now Period Supportive
Athletics Ireland events and competitions continue to work towards being 100% period supportive. Our aim is to have all Athletics Ireland events period supportive by 2025 and this is the next phase in our strategic vision.
By providing free sanitary products at our events we are striving to ensure that being on your period is not a barrier to taking part. Whether you are caught short on the day, need an extra tampon or it’s the day when you get your first period we are here to support you.
Anna Grealish (Women in Sport Lead) said ‘This is an easy step all events can take to make being on your period easier and less stressful. I know from my own experience how tricky being on your period can be at a cross country event. By providing free products at an accessible location we are hoping to support all women and girls whether you just need a spare or it is your very first period. I am delighted to be working once again with FabLittleBag to make sure we cover everyone’s period needs at events’.
Martha Silcott founder of FabLittleBag said ‘We are so proud to celebrate our on-going partnership with Athletics Ireland as they make their upcoming Cross Country Events as well as their Autumn Open Period Supportive Events. This means that women and girls competing, volunteering, working and spectating at these fantastic events will all be able to manage their periods with ease, confidence and discretion should they need to. Disposal at such events can typically cause some anxiety but FabLittleBag will be there to ensure that disposal is easy and clean, encouraging good binning behaviour and converting those who flush to bin instead! Small changes BIG impact! Well done Athletics Ireland” Martha Silcott
