UCL - Supporting students across the campus

Periods don’t stop for 9am lectures. Real support means making free period products available, wherever students might need them. We teamed up with UCL to make this mission behind their ‘Period Project’ a reality.

Scaling free period products across a large and complex university estate takes planning.

That means identifying the right locations, understanding what different departments actually need, managing stock, and connecting the people who want to introduce provision with the people who can approve it.

More conversations. Wider reach. Growing impact.

Since introducing Hey Girls and sharing the partnership more widely, UCL has seen growing interest and enquiries from departments wanting to introduce or expand provision.

The initiative is also helping to:

• Open new conversations across UCL about sustainability, choice and period poverty
• Build on the work already started through Project Period
• Create wider social impact through Hey Girls' 100% profit reinvestment model

Reporting on scale is still being developed, but for Sodexo, the growing interest from departments is itself the clearest sign the initiative is working.
