The Newcastle Advertiser, in conjunction with Miss Grand SA 2024 winner Sharne Dheochand, set out to assist local girls in need of sanitary items by hosting a Period Poverty Drive during August.
“We would like to thank each and every person who contributed towards this project ensuring a successful handover. Without your support, this would not have been possible.”
The Newcastle Advertiser will be hosting drives such as this regularly – so follow our social media platforms to see what we will be doing next.
