Molly Fenton: The Love your Period Campaign, Winner, Youth Work Excellence Awards 2023

Winner, 'Outstanding volunteer' Youth Work Excellence Awards 2023
Twenty-one-year-old Cardiff resident Molly Fenton is self-proclaimed "Wales' big sister." Driven by her own lack of guidance growing up, Molly has harnessed her passion to empower girls across the nation through her internationally recognised movement, ‘Love Your Period.
‘Love Your Period’ is a sanctuary for girls, where they find education, resources, and most importantly, a space to be heard and understood. Recognising the need for open conversations about young women's health, she bravely shares her own journey with a benign inoperable brain tumour through her blog. Molly acts as the big sister they might not have, stimulating conversations about periods, sexuality, and health - topics often shrouded in stigma.
