Over 13 million people in the UK are menopausal or perimenopausal; that’s a third of the entire female population. The menopause has an under recognised, but debilitating effect on a significant number of women with symptoms that affect daily life, work and relationships. Yet despite a lack of appropriate treatment leading to devastating consequences, the menopause is not a compulsory subject at 41% of medical, leaving many women suffering needlessly.

The Menopause Charity will provide a network of trained volunteers at home, across communities and workplaces to help ensure women can access evidence-based information, advice and reassurance. We will continue to campaign, raising awareness and empowering women to #ownyourmenopause so they recognise the symptoms and get the treatment they deserve. We will collaborate with other organisations to engage women across marginalised communities to ensure access to the support they need.
