Social enterprise founder waves hello to new Diss distribution centre

A social enterprise on a crusade to end period poverty has taken on a distribution centre in Diss.

The multi-award-winning not-for-profit organisation Hey Girls, which was founded in 2018, now has a 13,000-square-foot hub in Hoppers Way to call home.

Co-founder and director Celia Hodson said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have moved into this incredible new distribution centre.

“This new space will allow us to significantly increase our operations and help us in our fight to achieve period equality nationwide.”

The switch gives Hey Girls, which has a team of 40 staff and runs another location in East Lothian, fives times more space to help with processing.

Hey Girls has helped to distribute more than 38 million life-changing donations to its extensive network of 350 community partners.
