We want to make sure that everyone has access to the products they need. That’s why staff and students who find themselves caught short on campus can approach several Help points across City and Collegiate Campus and ask for free period products.
In January 2019, NHS England committed to providing free period products to hospitals. Since then, local authorities across England have begun to adopt a similar service to supply free period products to all students at schools, colleges and universities.
You can simply ask for the type you need, or if you would rather do this confidentially, ask at the desk for ‘Tammy’ (tampons) or ‘Patricia’ (pads).
The list of Help points are as follows:
Hallam Help Point on Owen level 5
Hallam Help Point in Adsetts Library
Hallam Help Point at Heart of the Campus
Hallam Help Point at Collegiate Library
The Student's Union
Pearson's Building Gym (Reception)
Medical Centre (Surrey level 1)
Porter Brook Medical Centre
Financial difficulties
If you are having trouble paying for period products, you can request an emergency voucher (subject to eligibility).
We are only able to supply a limited number of vouchers to each student. Therefore, if you are experiencing unforeseen financial difficulties, we may ask you to apply to the Hallam Hardship Fund so that we can consider how best to support you.
Did you know you can sign up with the Students’ Union and receive a year of free period products. Head to their website to see when the next sign up is.
