The Period Ambassador Programme is part of our Access to free Period Products Campaign. It brings together school staff and pupils to promote period dignity, raise awareness of where period products can be accessed and help create supportive school environments where periods can be openly discussed without stigma.
Staff champions support and guide pupil ambassadors, helping them promote period dignity and identify opportunities to improve awareness of and access to free period products in their schools.
