Accessing free period products

Free period products are available in Highland to everyone who needs them. They can be accessed at our community locations, through a home delivery service and are also available to pupils in schools.

How can I access products?

Disposable products:

    Free disposable products are available in community premises, such as High Life Highland leisure centres, libraries, and Council service points. They are also provided at many community larders and foodbanks through our partnership work with CFINE.

    These products are available for everyone. Whether you need them for yourself or for someone else, if you live or work locally, or you are visiting the Highlands, you are welcome to take what you need at our collection points.
