An event to help support people during the menopause will be held next month in Ulverston.
The Menopause Cafe, on Saturday November 5 at Ulverston Methodist Church between 11am and 1pm, is for people to discuss their thoughts, concerns and experiences – this could be an individual who is going through perimenopause or menopause, their family, carers or friends.
The café is open to all genders and all ages. Refreshments will be available on the day and participants are asked to contribute to the cost.
The event is supported by Mid Furness Integrated Care Community and will be facilitated by Dr Alison Johnston from Ulverston Community Health Centre.
Dr Johnston said: “It is a discussion with no pre-set agenda, where topics are chosen by participants on the day. The aim of the café is to give people living with menopause a safe place where they can share their experience in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.”
Menopause Café is a national initiative founded by Rachel Weiss. The first café was held in Scotland in 2017.
