All items included in the bag must be new and in sealed packaging for health and safety reasons.
Please do not include: pharmaceutical items (condoms, throat lozenges, paracetamol etc), razors/knives/scissors, food or drinks, spray deodorant/shampoo and other aerosols, loose tampons and pads or unsealed menstrual cups.
How do I tag the bags?

- Adult bags should have a pink tag/ribbon
- Teen bags should have a yellow tag/ribbon
