On Saturday night, in celebration of International Women’s Day, MK Lightning were proud to collaborate with Milton Keynes Falcons Women’s Ice Hockey Club and local charity Girl Pack. This special partnership aimed to promote inclusivity in sport and raise awareness for period poverty in the Milton Keynes community.

At the MKL game vs. Peterborough Phantoms, Falcons players handed out match night leaflets, encouraging more women and girls to get involved in ice hockey. Meanwhile, we were thrilled to welcome Girl Pack, a UK-registered, volunteer-led charity dedicated to providing free emergency period packs to young people and those in need. Girl Pack ensures that essential sanitary products are available in schools, community centres, and local government offices across Milton Keynes, supporting individuals who might otherwise struggle to access them.
