Wen has developed educational modules based on the Environmenstrual Workshop Programme and we are excited to be able to offer training to 50 ambassadors to roll out this programme across the UK. WHO DO WE TRAIN? Individuals who would like to get the word out in their communities about Environmenstrual and #Plasticfreeperiods. This is a volunteer opportunity. We will provide a small stipend to cover travel expenses for the delivery of workshops.

WHAT’S COVERED? The training programme will equip Environmenstrual Ambassadors with the tools necessary to enable young people and adults to have access to all the information they need to make informed choices about which menstrual products to use. We explore the pros and cons of disposable and reusable menstrual products and build period confidence with our interactive activities. Participants will be encouraged to think critically about the environmental and health impacts of menstrual products. For more information about our training programs please contact natasha@wen.org.uk

Wen are recruiting volunteers to support our exciting three year ‘Soil Sisters’ project delivering weekly social and therapeutic horticulture (STH) sessions at 5 women’s refuges across East London. Funded by BIG Lottery Reaching Communities, Wen are working with Ashiana Network and Hestia to support women to improve wellbeing, raise aspirations, build confidence and develop skills. You don’t have to be an expert gardener! We want creative people with a can-do attitude and a love of nature, who will bring their own skills and interests to shape the project develop beautiful gardens.

The gardens are small spaces so will use a range of nature inspired ‘green care’ activities that might also include cooking, crafts, and trips. So it’s a good environment to learn about what it takes to be a therapeutic gardener. Keen to get started!?
