đź©· I dropped in to the Menopause Cafe at Women's Community Matters to listen to attendees about their experiences with the menopause, and see how I could help in my role as MP.

I heard about how they've struggled to get medical advice, how some found their own solutions to cooling down over summer, and how they thought they were going mad!

Ahead of World Menopause Day on Sunday 18th, I wanted to share a webinar that Women's Community Matters are hosting.

Webinar:
đź“… Sunday 18th Oct
đź•– 7-8pm

You can ask questions, share your own experience or just listen to different perspectives. It's for women experiencing pain in midlife or around menopause, as well as for professionals, practitioners and community organisations who support them.

You can also read a factsheet from International Menopause Society athttps://www.imsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/WMD26-Factsheet.pdf
