In this episode of The Charity Changemakers Podcast, Adam Stacey speaks with Caroline Herman, founder of All Yours – a social enterprise tackling period poverty and menstrual equity across the UK.

What started as a heartfelt conversation in the car with her daughter turned into a fast-growing community-led initiative that now supports thousands.

Caroline shares the origin story of All Yours, how it operates as a social enterprise rather than a traditional charity, and the personal passion that fuels its mission.

The conversation explores the power of grassroots action, the stigma surrounding periods, and how accessible, dignified support can change lives.

Caroline also reflects on the pressures of running a values-led organisation, the emotional stories that keep her going, and why every spark of an idea deserves to be taken seriously.
