Mr Pisal Presents Period Poverty with a Cheque for £7619

We were delighted to present The Gift Wellness Foundation led by Founder and chair Dr Zareen Roohi Ahmed a cheque for £7,619, that will be used to help support women experiencing period poverty across the UK.

The funds were raised by kind and generous donors after Mr Narendra Pisal, consultant gynaecologist completed the Chicago Marathon in October. His aim was to help raise funds for this dedicated charity that supports women in crisis by providing non-toxic sanitary pads.

The total amount raised to date is £7,619 – this will provide over 80,000 sanitary pads and will help over 900 women for 6 months. The Gift Wellness Foundation aim is to eliminate period poverty in Britain’s most deprived communities by 2025.

We are extremely grateful to everyone who supported this fundraiser. London Gynaecology was proud to support this fundraising campaign and we are committed to raising awareness and supporting this fantastic charity in the future.

Helping End Period Poverty

At London Gynaecology, it goes without saying that women’s health is a subject close to our heart. We are continually focussed on delivering the best care to our patients and we also try to help women who we don’t see in our clinics. Over the years, we have supported many charitable causes that are focussed on improving the lives and healthcare of women.

This Sunday, consultant gynaecologist and keen runner, Mr Pisal, is putting on his running shoes to run the Chicago marathon to help end period poverty with the Gift Wellness Foundation.

, Helping End Period Poverty

Sadly, studies show that 1 in 10 girls and women in the UK cannot access feminine hygiene products during their period (known as period poverty) and this is only anticipated to worsen in the current financial climate. The Gift Wellness Foundation aims to eliminate period poverty in Britain’s most deprived communities by 2025.

We have always been humbled by the generosity and kindness of patients, colleagues and friends, who like to support our charitable efforts, so if you would like to donate to this cause, help Mr Pisal over the finish line and take us closer to eliminating period poverty, please click here.

London Gynaecology are proud to have donated the first £1000.
