Kate opens the box on the period poverty in our local area and tells us how she and a very small team on a volunteer basis, as well as working full time as a book editor, are making it their mission to make sure that every girl is looked after, provided with the products that they need and do not miss school because they cannot afford menstruation products.

Kate also explains how vital she has found having a mentor in her life and how it’s ok to change your career plans and follow your passions.
