    Here’s our dream… that there is access to period products wherever someone needs them.   Our Bloody Big Survey alerted us to some alarming statistics, especially in sport with 68% of respondents saying they have missed sport due to their period and 60.2% of respondents saying they at least sometimes missed out on socialising with friends due to their period. So with that, we are so stoked to have met with Stadiums Queensland who also believe in our mission.   We are thrilled to unveil the installation of our Dignity Vending Machines (DVM), dispensing FREE period products at some of our premier sports venues—Sleeman Sports Complex and QSAC Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre! Plus, we have expanded our impact across three of Queensland’s Recreation Precincts on the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and Townsville.   This ground breaking initiative ensures that no one has to miss out on life's big moments due to lack of access to essential period products. By partnering with Stadiums Queensland and the Department of Tourism and Sport, we're committed to supporting communities and making a positive impact. Together, we’re smashing through barriers, tackling period poverty, and championing dignity for everyone. Because period products are a necessity, not a luxury, we're proud to be leading the charge to make them available in public spaces!   With every training session, game, concert, and event, our DVMs will be there to support you – because everyone deserves access to the products they need, wherever they are.
