Community Engagement – Students and lecturers
Students were provided access to free period products and made aware of the service as well as other services we provide. This helped to bridge the gap in the community with a vital age demographic engaging with the period dignity initiative.
A pop-up stall was held at Motherwell College at the main building offering access to free period products. There was engagement with over 40 students with many accessing products, discussing where to access products in the wider community and how to access further information for sharing purposes.
We also engaged with various staff members from lecturers and janitors alike, enquiring more about the project for both personal and professional purposes.
The event was a success having provided over 100 packs of products to students, along with vital information to support them and the wider community going forward.
