In March 2017, we launched our experiential workshops which include the betty bus and our classroom-based workshops. We have visited over 220 primary and secondary schools to date and offered workshops to girls and boys in Years 5-8. 

Interest in the bus has outstripped all expectations. We set an initial target of 85 requests for visits within the first 12 months. We received over 600 visit requests within the first two months - our waiting list now exceeds 900 schools.

From schools, to education events, to Girlguiding, we’re on a mission to break the period taboo. The experiential, innovative sessions onboard the bus offer an out of classroom experience to help facilitate open and honest conversations - and the response has been incredible.

“What a fantastic experience handled in a fun, sensitive manner! A fantastic resource!” - Claire Trebilcock, Year 5 teacher Boringdon Primary School.

“A warm, lively, wonderful experience. That was such fun – took the mystery out of periods and empowered the girls so that they will be able to support each other in the future. Thank you!” Year 6 teacher Maynard School

Our trained facilitators help girls to explore how periods can affect their emotions and what they can do to combat them - and don't worry, we haven't forgotten about the boys! We offer in-depth sessions which focus on their attitude and understanding around that perfectly natural time of the month!

The success of the betty workshops is shown by the fact 99% of teachers would recommend the betty bus to other schools and, an overwhelming majority of teachers, 93%, would like to invite betty back to their school again!
