Wigan and Leigh Menopause Support

07/05/2026

Hi everyone, I'm almost at the end of my counselling training and feel like I'm juggling just everything right now. So I'm going to do as I say to others and put a few things down before I drop them. I'm going to cancel the May meet up because that week is especially busy for me and I need a clear head. That means our next session will be Tuesday 30th June. See you then 😊

University of Oxford are conducting a survey about the use of commercial products to manage symptoms of menopause.

We want to ensure the responses come from as diverse a range of people -

Menooause Matters people 😊

If you have experience of perimenopause or menopause you could help ⁉️

Oxford University are conducting this research because they have heard from lots of women that they are taking or buying these products.

We want to learn more about who is taking them and why.

Thank you as always.

This month we're going to be looking at how we're feeling throughout this time and we'll be using these Wade Whimsey animals to help with that

Does anyone else follow Dr Helen? She shares so many insights, it's difficult to keep up at times! There are worse problems to have 😁

You need support.

And that’s ok! I see you.

Having a hysterectomy, going through menopause. They are tough. I’ve done it myself.

I have the support that you need.

It’s all of the support that I needed, but couldn’t find.

Support that you can access immediately.

Support that will help you. Today.

2 “things” and I’ll pop both down in the comments.

Come and join - I hate knowing that you are out there struggling.

Fiona is a fount of knowledge about menopause. If you're within the GP catchment area get along to see her. If we don't make use of these services they'll stop. If work or other commitments are getting in the way of accessing support then let your GP know this.
