About You and #EndPeriodPoverty

Always are running two initiatives for schools for the 2018-19 academic year:

1.The Always and Tampax ‘About You’ puberty education programme for UK and ROI secondary schools

2.The Always #EndPeriodPoverty initiative

 1. Always & Tampax ‘About You’ puberty education programme

Help your students embrace their changing body with confidence and learn how to develop healthy relationships with themselves and others. Your older students can now benefit from tailored, video-led lessons that will help develop their self-esteem and body confidence. Topics include giving consent and social media.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE?

**Each secondary school in the UK and ROI may only order free sanitary pads for one year group at their school and free tampons for one year group at their school per academic year. The tampons must not be handed out to girls younger than 13.

2.The Always #EndPeriodPoverty campaign

After an overwhelming response to it’s #EndPeriodPoverty campaign, Always will continue to donate millions more sanitary pads to help make sure no girl in need ever misses a day of school due to a lack of access to sanitary protection.

Up to 3,700 free pads are now available twice a year to ALL secondary schools in the UK.

IF YOU REGISTER BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2018 TO DECEMBER 14th 2018 YOU WILL BE ADDED TO OUR WINTER DISPATCH:

• You will receive pads in January/February 2019 (please note there has been a delay to distribution and pads will not be sent out in November as previously planned – apologies for this).
• You will automatically receive the same donation of pads again for the second distribution in the summer term unless you opt out via email (we will remind you of the option to opt out nearer the time)

IF YOU REGISTER AFTER DECEMBER 14th 2018 YOU WILL BE ADDED TO OUR SUMMER DISPATCH:

• You will receive your pads in the summer term 2019
