About Us

12 Period is a student-led initiative within Enactus Exeter, dedicated to ensuring that everyone—regardless of socioeconomic background—has access to period products and the education needed to use them confidently. Our project works closely with schools, homeless shelters, and charities to distribute sustainable period pads while educating both men and women on menstrual health. Every product purchased through our partners contributes to a “buy one, give one” model, allowing essential donations to reach homeless women facing unique challenges.
