Introducing Riley – A 2025/26 SSP Winner
We are pleased to announce one of our newest SSP winners, Riley. We are dedicated to empowering businesses and championing solutions that enhance the working environment. This is why we are thrilled to work with Riley, who are on a mission to make a tangible social impact and change how period care has always been consumed by empowering organisations to create inclusive environments where every individual’s needs are valued and met with dignity.
At Riley, we are firm believers that period products are a basic human need and should be treated like toilet paper. That means readily available whenever and wherever they’re needed.
Aine & Fiona, Co Founders of Riley
The life of Riley
Riley was founded on the belief that our bodies deserve better. What started as passionate conversations between friends about female health and reproductive rights turned into a crucial realisation – many period products contain hormone-disrupting chemicals, and this needed to change.
From the beginning, Riley committed to using only the highest quality 100% organic cotton for its pads and tampons. Partnering with ethical manufacturers, Riley ensures its products are free from pesticides, chlorine bleach, and harmful chemicals – better for both the body and the planet.
HOW RILEY IS TRANSFORMING PERIOD CARE IN THE WORKPLACE
Riley advocates for true workplace inclusivity by ensuring employees have access to essential period care with dignity and ease. By supplying sustainable period products in offices, Riley helps businesses create a more supportive, equitable, and stigma-free environment where employees feel comfortable, valued, and empowered to perform at their best.

RILEY’S COMMITMENT TO GIVING BACK

In Ireland, Riley collaborates with Positive Period Ireland to supply eco-friendly period products to Homeless Outreach Centres, Direct Provision Centres, and Women’s Refuges.
