Grants Support

All schools and colleges in England are now eligible to receive funding for a free period product scheme. This is not automatic therefore, you must apply for funding here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/period-products-in-schools-and-colleges/period-product-scheme-for-schools-and-colleges-in-england#how-to-order-products

Unfortunately, this support does not extend to higher education settings. You may be able to acquire funding through utilising your student union to lobby your university board.

Scotland is the first country in the world to make period products free to all people who need them. This fantastic step means that all educational settings are eligible for financial support. You will receive funding for free period products through contacting your local authority.
