#EndPeriodPoverty

The SU believes that the cost of menstrual care products is an unfair burden placed on those that need them, and as part of a larger move towards menstrual equity, is committed to providing menstrual care products to those in need.

We are supplying over 30 bathrooms across campus with period pads and tampons, as well as reusable products available upon request. See the links below for more details about our locations, our supplier, joining the #EndPeriodPoverty volunteer team, accessing reusable products, using our discreet request service, or providing feedback.

For any further enquiries, please contact Naomi Carter (Vice-President Welfare and Campaigns) at naomi.carter@warwicksu.com

Join #EndPeriodPoverty Volunteers

Complete the sign up form to become a volunteer for the End Period Poverty campaign and be involved with supplying period products across campus!

Our team is mainly made up of passionate volunteers, who enable students around campus to access period products throughout term. Volunteering involves collecting stock from the SU Membership Office at the start of the week to replenish your allocated bathroom(s). This could be bathrooms in your academic building or a place on campus you visit regularly, making it the perfect volunteering opportunity to fit around your busy student timetable!

Our supplier and materials

We have partnered with organic period product provider Here We Flo to provide the pads and tampons you see on campus. HereWeFlo is a Certified B-Corporation that aims to empower people who have periods to feel more confident, through providing organic and sustainable period products. You can find out more about their mission here and the materials used here.

Accessing Reusable Products

Though we have carefully chosen the most sustainable provider for our pads and tampons, we recognise that reusable period products can be a more cost-effective, comfortable and environmentally-friendly option. We have a limited stock of reusable menstrual cups from FloCup that will soon be available to request online and collect from the Student’s Union.

Discreet Requests via Locker 21

Locker 21 provides a discreet way of accessing free sexual health and menstrual care products. You can fill out this form to request products online and collect from the SU Headquarters - they will be delivered anonymously to Locker 21, on the ground floor of SU Headquarters. Available products include tampons, pads, condoms, lube and dental dams.
