Period Reality

We fight for gender equity through system-level change by educating about and advocating for living in sync with your cycle.

Period Reality aims to address period related issues and stories by sharing the real life stories from girls and women globally. Although half the population experiences a menstrual cycle, the stark contrast in the different realities of girls and women is very real and through storytelling we aim to educate and provide relatable content.

Through sharing stories from girls and women focused on their common humanities. Even though our realities might be very different depending on many factors (physical, geographical, socio-economical, mental etc.) we all share a lot of the same questions, worries, dreams, anxieties, ambitious etc. Making these stories relatable and accessible will educate and inspire and create a movement of girls and women being able to first and foremost understand their own cycle, in order to be kind to themselves.

About Wonderseekers

Wonderseekers is a children’s charity that uses science engagement to empower children to improve lives and protect and heal our planet. Its purpose is to raise children’s aspirations and confidence when it comes to big topics such as climate change, as well as promoting diversity and inclusion, so that all children have the ambition and freedom to improve their own lives, the lives of others and ultimately life on Earth.

Set up in 1986, and renamed as Wonderseekers in 2022, the Charity has always focused on delivering hands-on science experiences for young children. Through fun, immersive and accessible experiences in schools, communities, online and at its science and discovery centre in Winchester, the Charity is able to spark curiosity when it comes to science. As part of it’s For People and Planet strategy, launched in 2023, it will continue to use these interactive science experiences to positively engage children, through all disciplines of science, with the natural world to enable them to take action against climate change.

The Role

To deliver our new strategy and exciting capital and activity Masterplan, the Charity is looking to strengthen our Board with an individual who can bring their skills and experience within the area of Major Capital Development.

Our strategy, For People and Planet 2030, sets out a clear vision for Wonderseekers and the outcomes we want to influence for children and nature. The impact we already have is hugely significant but we know through the delivery of this ambitious strategy and masterplan, we can do so much more. If you share our values, ambition and commitment to our Charity’s mission, we would love to hear from you.

We value diversity amongst our Board of Trustees and the unique contribution trustees bring to the role through their own lived, loved, laboured and learned experiences. As well as ensuring the Board has the necessary business skills required to effectively govern the Charity, we also seek to represent the audiences we serve across all levels of our organisation.

Our Board of Trustees provides strategic leadership and governance to the Charity to ensure we achieve what we set out to do effectively and always in line with ‘Our promise to children’ and regulatory obligations.
