𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗳𝗲 is for everyone regardless of your menopause journey. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age or gender. You may be experiencing menopause now, or want to be prepared before it happens to you. You may want to learn more to better support your partner, parents, friends or colleagues. There is no set agenda as you start the conversation.
Rachel Weiss had the idea for Menopause Cafe in 2017, inspired by Kirsty Wark’s BBC programme “Menopause and Me” and the Death Cafe model she had already been part of. Rachel, Gail Jack and Lorna Fotheringham held the world’s first Menopause Cafe in Perth, Scotland that June 2017. They didn’t know whether it would just be the three of them talking to each other, or if other people would join them. About 30 people turned up and talked, and asked for more Menopause Cafes.
Menopause Cafes are held:
+ with no intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action.
+ as an open, respectful and confidential space where people can express their views safely.
+ on a not for profit basis.
+ alongside refreshing drinks and nourishing food – and cake!
You can drop in anytime and stay for as long or little as you like. Just make sure you have enough coffee and cake to last!
Our new venue, The Hub at St. Mary's offers a fabulous space in the beautiful church of St. Mary's which has been converted into a community and entertainment venue. The cafe will be held upstairs on the first floor in The Hub. Lift access is available.
