Free period products

The University is commited to tackling period poverty, which is on the rise due to the cost-of-living crisis. We have now increased our provision of free period products – for staff and students – to 84 locations across the campus.  

What is provided?

Sanitary pads and tampons are available. As part of the University’s work to address single-use plastic, we are providing plastic-free products which are responsibly sourced, biodegradable or recyclable.
