Our Speaker
Celia Hodson
Celia Hodson OBE, a multi-award-winning entrepreneur and social innovator. Celia founded Hey Girls CIC in 2018 to tackle period poverty in the UK. With a simple "buy one, donate one" model, Hey Girls has donated over 40 million period products to people in need, blending social impact with sustainable business practices.
Celia's mission is deeply personal. As a single parent raising three children on benefits, she experienced period poverty first-hand. Back then, there wasn’t even language to describe it, let alone support systems in place. She has made it my goal to ensure that no one has to compromise their health, dignity, or well-being because they can’t afford period products. For her, access to these essentials is a right, not a privilege.
