Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service Introduces Period Dignity Products in the Workplace

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MAWWFRS) is proud to announce the introduction of Grace & Green Period Dignity products in all female toilet facilities across the organisation, ensuring that every staff member has access to essential period products while at work.

Joining Grace & Green’s Period Dignity scheme and contributing towards greater inclusion and awareness around menstruation comes as 1 in 5 women in the UK struggle to access period products, with 85% of working women in the UK reporting stress or anxiety when managing their period at work.

This initiative reflects MAWWFRS’s commitment to dignity, wellbeing, equality and sustainability in the workplace. We recognise that unexpected or unplanned periods can cause stress or discomfort, and this initiative is designed to offer reassurance and practical support when it’s needed.

Helen Rees, Head of Procurement said:

These high‑quality, sustainable and organic period products will be provided for free for use during working hours, removing barriers that can impact comfort, confidence, and productivity.

Fran Lucraft, Grace & Green CEO and Founder said:

As MAWWFRS marks 30 years of serving its communities, we remain focused on strengthening the workplace we have built, one where everyone continues to feel respected, supported, and equipped to thrive. This initiative is part of our wider wellbeing strategy, our internal ‘BeWell’ campaign, which provides resources and guidance for all staff. It is built around a framework that encourages us to check in with one another, have meaningful conversations, and set practical goals to strengthen collective wellbeing.

We will continue to explore new ways to support our people and embed a culture rooted in respect, dignity, and fairness. Our focus is on shaping a future where every member of MAWWFRS feels valued and empowered.
