Martlesham Heath’s 6th MENOPAUSE CAFE!
A Menopause Café, aims to break down the stigma around menopause, increasing awareness of the impact of the menopause on those experiencing it, their family, friends and their colleagues. The next event will be held in The Runway Café, Martlesham Heath on Saturday 4th May 2024 from 10:30am - 11:30am
A Menopause Cafe is a discussion group, open to all ages and genders, no talks, no experts, topics are chosen by participants. This event has no set topic; so feel free to come along with your questions to listen and share with others coping strategies of all our differing symptoms!
The Menopause Café movement started in Perth, Scotland, in 2017 and has spread worldwide, with volunteers now hosting events in the UK, Bahrain, Mexico, USA, Austria and India. The charity also organise an annual Menopause Festival, #FlushFest.
Rachel Weiss, founder of the Menopause Café charity, says, “The Menopause Café is for everyone who want to talk about the menopause, to share their stories, experiences and questions - all made that little bit easier with tea and cake.
“Unfortunately, many people feel that they should just ‘get on with’ the menopause, with some never talking to their friends of family about it. People can come along and just listen, or join in on the discussions, hopefully leaving with a clearer sense of the impact of the menopause on those who are experiencing it, alongside their families, friends and colleagues.”
Kirsty Wark, patron of the Menopause Café Charity, says “ I am delighted to be a patron of this charity which is dedicated to get everyone talking about the menopause. This is the way to a healthier, happier future”.
The sixth event in Martlesham Heath event is being organised by Jen Evans, an advocate of womens health and is being hosted by the volunteer team at Runway Café. Jen has said “after the success of the first five events, we are thrilled that there continues to be a ‘want’ in 2024 for there to be a café open to the local community where they can freely come and discuss this topic”. She adds; "I realise that for some, taking time away on a Saturday morning is difficult, but although the event is an hour, you don't have to stay for all of it; feel free to dip in and then leave when you're ready"
Booking is recommended via Eventbright as the cafe is run by volunteers and they like to prepare as much as they can. To find out more about the Menopause Cafe charity visit http://www.menopausecafe.net
