Grace & Green

Last year, our impact on both environment and period dignity was huge, all thanks to you. ↘︎ Our mission is to delivery dignity for all and we are proud to continue to make access to safe, sustainable period products a basic right. And this past year has been an exciting one at Grace & Green as we became B Corp certified with the highest score in organic period care globally, reflecting our dedication to sustainable and ethical business practices. Because period care is for every body – without exception, without compromise.

The last thing anyone needs is to worry about access to period products at work. A huge 85% of people who menstruate feel stressed or anxious about managing their periods on the job – worrying about leaks, struggling with painful cramps and dealing with heavy bleeding. It’s time for workplaces to show up and support period dignity. Join our Period Dignity scheme to make free, sustainable period products available to everyone who needs them.

Better periods start here. It’s not just about providing period products for employees; it’s about offering better, safer options. Many traditional pads and tampons contain toxins, plastics or aren’t suitable for different flows, leading to discomfort and leaks. That’s where we come in. Partner with us to offer free organic period products that support your employees—no matter their cycle, age, or gender identity.

Last weekend, we were proud to support an important community health event organised in collaboration with Harmony Clinic, led by the exceptional Ronke Olulana. Harmony Clinic’s community outreach efforts have been pivotal in raising awareness on topics like cancer screening and sickle cell. Cervical cancer screening rates in Barking & Dagenham remain below the national target of 80%, with only 64.8% of women aged 25-49 screened. Around 200 women attended the event, which focused on promoting breast, bowel, and cervical cancer screenings—particularly for Black women aged 20-60, who face higher risks for poorer health outcomes in these areas. Through this initiative, the clinic aim to close the gap by emphasising early detection and preventive care. We are grateful to have contributed donations to support this cause and help raise awareness of the vital need for screening. It’s inspiring to see how collective action can create meaningful change in communities. Thank you to Dr Remi Mogekwu for reaching out to us and Ms (Dr) Karen Joash for your keynote speech.

What if we learned about menstrual conditions sooner? It takes on average 2 years to get diagnosed with PCOS, 8 years for endometriosis, and anywhere from 5 to 20 years for PMDD. That's a long time for people to deal with pain, irregular periods and intense psychological symptoms without knowing the cause. Menstruators shouldn't have to wait until their late 20s or 30s or even 40s to book that first appointment, only to wait even longer for a diagnosis. The sooner menstruators know about these conditions, the faster they can spot the symptoms, speak up, and start getting answers. But we’re here to change that – we’re passionate about educating students on menstrual health and answering any questions they have. Reach out to us to learn more about how we can support your students. 📧 https://lnkd.in/eRqZjJ-B

Too many people are left with more questions than answers about their own periods. For too long, menstrual health education has skimmed the surface, leaving older generations in the dark and young people confused. Basic biology is just the start, but we need to get real about the complexities of periods because no two are the same. Every student deserves to understand not only what happens during a period but how their bodies evolve over time, with the tools to identify pain levels, conditions and advocate for their health. That’s where our Period Dignity scheme steps in. We’re here to ensure students feel fully prepared, not just for now but for every stage of their journey ahead.

Period pain isn’t a ‘day off’. PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, and PMDD bring real, often debilitating pain. Yet society frequently dismisses it as minor, exaggerated or akin to a sick day. This isn’t about ‘being sick’ or taking a ‘vacation’ but about managing a chronic reality that deeply impacts daily life. It’s time to validate these experiences and recognise the strength it takes to show up despite the pain, and to create spaces where rest and support for menstrual health are normalised, not stigmatised.
