The SU Officer team will pick this issue up in the next SU/Estates Meeting. We will inform you of the progress we make.
In the meantime, we have done the following:
The SU Advice Centre have free sanitary product available for all students to collect,
From the 1st September the SU Shop will remove all margin from sanitary products in the shop along with the fact that we have never charged VAT to customers,
The Community Officer is working with DIGS and other halls to provide free sanitary products from wellbeing areas of halls.
The Newcastle University has become one of the first universities to offer free sanitary products for female members of the university!
Menstration is not avoidable! Sanitary products are not a luxury, they are a necessity!
I believe we should follow in this lead and set up a free sanitary dispenser in university toilets!

Or free reusable sanitary items, like Mooncups
It would also be really important to have these installed in other spaces since not everyone who menstruates is a woman and so do not all use female toilets. Putting them in gender neutral toilets or outside toilets altogether would be beneficial to everyone.
