Meet the Trustees
Our Trustees are entrusted to look after the governance of Period Friendly Places. All our trustees are volunteers and are passionate about fighting period inequality.
Danny - Chair
My initial interest in period poverty came from a position of complete ignorance and the question of why should people who menstruate have to pay for products in the workplace but not toilet paper? My family is lucky enough that my wife, three daughters and son are never likely to experience period poverty directly, but I do have the desire, network and skills to do something about those who do.
Adam - Treasurer
In 2018 I attended Bristol’s “One City Gathering” and watched a presentation on the ‘ask’ to eradicate period poverty in Bristol. One of those ‘asks’ was that Period Friendly Places needed Corporate Support, and that’s something in my business leadership role at the time I could offer. But the more I got involved with the Charity, it started to mean so much to me and I’m really passionate about now supporting this great Charity as it’s Treasurer and work towards eradicating period poverty and to be a city of period dignity.
Alex - Trustee
Alex is a Policy Manager at Alzheimer’s Society, where she has worked on both public affairs and policy for over three years. A long-term campaigner and activist and graduate of the Jo Cox Women in Leadership scheme, Alex is passionate about tackling equalities issues, including period poverty. Her role with PFP is her first as a trustee and she’s excited to be bringing her professional and political experience to the table.
Chika - Trustee
As a project manager with a passion for marketing, travel, and charity, I’ve built a career on blending creativity with purpose. My love for travel has given me a global perspective, allowing me to craft campaigns that resonate across cultures. Equally important is my commitment to charitable work, where I apply my skills to projects that drive social impact. Organised, adaptable, and driven, I thrive on turning complex visions into reality while exploring new ideas and making a positive difference.
Tara - Trustee
I have a strong passion for equalities and a professional background in supporting victims of hate crime. I firmly believe that everyone deserves access to basic necessities like period products. Along with access to products I think education about periods and reducing stigma are crucial parts of tackling this issue. Inspired by PFP’s mission, I’m excited about the opportunity to play a direct role in tackling period poverty and contributing towards PFP’s reach and sustainability.
Louiza - Trustee
Louiza is a recent graduate from the University of Bristol, eager to launch her career in the charity and NGO sector. She is deeply passionate about activism, with a particular focus on feminist issues such as period poverty and period stigma, and has dedicated the past year to volunteering in this area.
Hannah - Trustee
Having worked in the Mayor's of Bristol's Office leading projects with city partners, I know how much can be achieved through working together and harnessing the energy that exists in our businesses and communities. I was aware of the commitment made at the City Gathering to tackle period poverty, and when the opportunity came up I jumped at the chance to get involved. Fundamentally, I want to reduce the stigma and shame that surround periods, support everyone to be better educated (boys and men too!), and make sure those who menstruate have access to the products that work for them, no matter their bank balance.
