We want the whole world talking about the menopause.

At a Menopause Café people gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss menopause. Menopause Cafés can be public or workplace-only events.

Our Menopause Cafés are offered:

  • In an accessible, respectful and confidential space
  • Open for all, regardless of gender or age
  • With no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product or course of action
  • On a not for profit basis
  • Alongside refreshing drinks and cake!

We look forward to meeting you soon!

 

…first Menopause Cafe. Genius! In a world that is full of disconnection this was a perfect tonic. Loving the conversations and the sense of community

Event Details

Join us for a relaxed chat about all things Menopause. It’s an informal discussion group. We don’t set agendas – discussion topics emerge and are shaped by participants. It’s not a workshop or an information event. It’s not therapy. It’s simply a space to be yourself and to share your journey with others. By talking about experiences with others, and by hearing other people’s stories, we learn that we are not going through this alone! You’ll meet your volunteer hosts Fiona, Paula and Rachel who are all on their menopause journeys too. Importantly, know that you are welcome, and we are looking forward to meeting you.

We’re part of the national Menopause Café network — holding space for honest and supportive, conversations around menopause.

• Open to everyone. The menopause impacts everyone, and all are welcome at a Café. This includes all ages and genders.

• Impartial to the way ahead. Everyone’s menopause is a unique journey, so our Café is a supportive, confidentialspace to help people to learn, to make sense of their own journey or to consider options. 

• There is no intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action.

• It is as an open, respectful and confidential space where people can express their views safely and everyone is welcome.

• Not for profit. Cafes are not about selling things, they are about participants supporting each other. We don’t charge people to come and have a chat.

There will be drinks and cake on offer. Special thanks to Kelly for hosting us at the Sour Cow.

1st Drink courtesy of MHI

The Café duration is for 90 minutes. You can drop in anytime and stay for as long or little as you like.

Feel free to contact your volunteer host Fiona Birkett on 07765 627699 if you have any questions. 

Sign up at here as places are limited.

How to host a Menopause Café

We think talking about the menopause over a cup of tea is a great way to spend some time. If you agree, why not host your own Menopause Cafe? It’s inexpensive, simple and fun.

Menopause in the workplace.Did you know that Rachel is often asked to run a menopause in the workplace training session for managers and staff?Here's some recent feedback she received:• Rachel had a good manner which encouraged people to speak without feeling pressured.• The training helped break stigmas around menopause and periods by discussing them openly and naturally.• Rachel was engaging and made the room feel involved and connected.• Rachel was a likable, friendly, professional trainer who delivered the training at a suitable pace.• Although I thought I had a good awareness of the symptoms of menopause, I learned there was a lot more than I realised.If you'd like Rachel to train your staff then please e-mail menopausecafe@outlook.com for further information and#menopause#m#menopauseawarenesse#menopausetrainings#perimenopausesymptomss#womenshealthukn#perimenopausesupportu#Perimenopauseimenopause ...
