In this podcast episode, we sit with Celia Hodson, the founder of Hey Girls, a community interest company aiming to eradicate period poverty in the UK. For every period product bought from Hey Girls, one period product is donated to someone in need. Celia Hodson kindly elaborates on the beginnings, ideation, and launch of Hey Girls and the mission of eradicating period poverty and achieving period equality and dignity. She elaborates on the core beliefs of Hey Girls and the importance of ecological sustainability in social enterprises. She also gives practical advice on navigating negotiations with stockists like ASDA, Waitrose, and Coop, on making an impact with creative marketing strategies, when on a budget, and how to handle the ups and downs that are inherent to every startup journey.
