How you can help

There are some ways that you can help us.

You can be the activist,. With our help & support, become the driver of change. Speak to your clubs, speak to your coaches and trainers, speak to your team mates and your friends and speak to your parents about Play On. Explain why it’s important that clubs provide free period wear.

Describing how it feels when you’ve got your period, how you worry about starting your period or leaking might seem like TMI – they could be difficult things for you to discuss. But we need to be honest. We need to explain how common these concerns are and the impact they have on us turning up to practice. Some people won’t realise that this is even a problem but by talking to them, you can help them to see your POV.

But if it is difficult to talk about, fear not – we’ve put together some tools to help you.

Head to this link on our website and you’ll find a template that you can send by email, text, Whatsapp, whatever works for you. Copy and paste it, edit it as much as you like to fit your particular club and you could always sign it from a group of you, like your team, or you and your care giver.

We are Girls in Sport can send some emails to try to make the change happen if you don’t want to and we can support your emails too, if you like. All we need is the name of the person you’ve emailed and their contact details. You can provide those to us in the Period Questionnaire which you can find here – share your period experiences with us, anonymously if you like to help us see what you girls are going through at your sports clubs.

And yes, do let us know about positive experiences too!

We’re here to help you so if you need support email wearegirlsinsport@gmail.com.
