Nightingale House Hospice’s Post

When I joined Grace & Green in 2022 as Head of Growth, my very first presentation to the Board was about how we took what had been created in Period Dignity and use this to have a much wider impact on both the business and the world of work. How would we make Period Dignity the market leader (with very little money to spend to do so)? I don't have enough space in this post to work through exactly what I set out in that meeting, however it boiled down to: ✌ Understanding the impact we want to have: It's always been about more than supplying products - Education is woven into the threads of Period Dignity. To achieve period dignity we need access to information, availability of products and acceptance within workplace culture - we designed our offering and continue to develop everything we do around these pillars. This was summed up perfectly by a client (John) who said "Grace & Green don't just supply a product, they create a CULTURE". Exactly John. ✌ Remember who we are and why we are doing it: Unsurprisingly, the workplace space has and is becoming more competitive. This is excellent news, as more businesses embrace free period care as a basic right, and especially comforting how many are choosing a more sustainable providers. As now Chief Commercial Officer, it's also mildly stressful (mildly 🙃 ). However, dignity continues to be about more than avoiding getting caught short, it's about embracing inclusivity and supporting our Members to deliver dignity for all, no matter of age, gender identity, or how they experience their period. There's still a long way to go, and we've got SO much more coming here... ✌ Treat every customer like they are absolutely making our day. This is perhaps a small business mindset, or when many of the team have done almost every job in the company. We all remember the THRILL of winning our first big contract, the DELIGHT of walking into a shop and seeing our products on shelf, or randomly walking into the bathroom BEAMING seeing our products. We don't take for granted the fact we get to be in people's everyday. (For me this has never worn off, my heart still skips a little when I process an order, receive a tender award notice, or see a customer talking about us on socials.) Particularly grateful for our team for supporting our phenomenal YOY 120% growth, for challenging, pushing our vision and positioning, and for being excellent. I'm incredibly proud of what we and our members are doing to drive inclusivity, awareness and dignity within their workplaces and educational establishments. I can't wait to see what the next two years can hold. Happy Birthday Period Dignity. x

Having assisted Scott and the board with their strategic planning process, I know these resources will be used effectively

Who are Community Action Dacorum, and why am I climbing Ben Nevis for them? Community Action Dacorum is an incredible charity that makes a real difference in people’s lives across our local area. They address critical social needs in Community, Employability, and Wellbeing, offering invaluable support through various programs and initiatives. From providing mobility scooters for shoppers in Marlow's Mall and organizing day trips to help combat loneliness, to running employability skills training like The Dragons Apprentice for students and hosting networking events for local businesses – they do so much to uplift our community. Their work even extends to providing essential cost-of-living support for those in need. It’s clear that their efforts are impactful, but all of this requires funding. That’s why, on February 23rd, I’ll be climbing Ben Nevis, the UK's tallest mountain, to raise £750+ in support of the incredible work they do. Every penny donated goes directly toward sustaining and expanding their vital services. So, why am I working with them? Because their mission resonates deeply with me. Community Action Dacorum’s dedication to empowering people, fostering connections, and promoting inclusion aligns with the values I hold in both my personal and professional life. Supporting their cause is my way of giving back to the community that has given so much to me. If you’re able to contribute, whether it’s £5 or £50, your support would mean the world to me and the people this charity helps every day. Click the link below to donate – every bit counts! Together, let’s make a difference. 🙌 #challenge #bennevis #communityactiondacorum #charity https://lnkd.in/eyvUFWtd

I am leaving this town and moving to a bigger one and trying to give stuff to charity. Sad that there’s a furniture pick up for homeless but the interface is so complicated and they’re asking so much money that I’m gonna go with an ideological charity. I don’t know why homeless charities make it so difficult to give money and things to them. I remember during homeless tent City, they had some weird funding things set up and I couldn’t give money then they switched and just gave out their phone number so that you could donate all can recycling you do to them. It’s these little simple ways to get money to people in need which these organizations need to perfect. #Charity #efficiency

Have you heard? Decluttering isn't just about tidying up; it's about making room for what truly matters. Your excess and extras may be someone’s demanding need. Let's take a moment to declutter our lives and donate unused materials to those in need. On this Day 21/30 of the #ECO30Impact Challenge, we implore you to: 1️⃣ Set aside time to declutter your home, focusing on areas where excess clutter tends to accumulate, such as closets, drawers, and storage spaces. 2️⃣ Sort and organize donated items into separate categories, ensuring they are clean, sorted, and ready for donation. 3️⃣ Gather items that are in good condition but no longer serve you, and donate them to households, local charities, or community organizations that can put them to good use. Feel free to tag your decluttering and donation act with us and we will be glad to amplify your impact. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in our communities. #Declutter #Donate #Helptheneedy #ECOChampions
