Community initiative to promote period positivity begins this month

A new project for young girls set to change the way we view periods begins this month.

The Halstead All In Community Team, created by Eastlight Community Homes, have spent the last seven months building one bold idea that makes a difference to residents’ lives in their town.

This month, the Halstead team will introduce their initiative Grow with the Flow at Si Belle Beauty Salon in Market Hill.

The team have discovered just how little young people know about periods and the stigma attached to the subject.

Grow with the Flow initially involves confidence-boosting sessions with young women in Ramsey Academy and Hedingham School about what a “normal” period is, what products are out there to use and when to seek medical help.

This event is invite only. Please email halstead@weareallin.co.uk to secure a space.
