On Tuesday 11th August, I hosted Know Your Menopause, a free event at Penlan Leisure Centre bringing expert advice and honest conversation to Swansea.
I have long championed better menopause support, and it was fantastic to see so many women come together to learn, ask questions and share their own experiences.
We heard from a brilliant panel of speakers:
Holland & Barrett
Tina Backhouse, Vice Chair of Menopause Mandate
Claire Atherton, Menopause in the Workplace Consultant
Dr Sandar Hlaing, Menopause Specialist
Guests also took part in a free menopause fitness taster session with a personal trainer.
Too many women still struggle through the menopause without the information or support they need. Events like this help to change that, and the turnout showed just how much demand there is.
The evening was a huge success, so much so that we are now planning more Know Your Menopause events across Neath and Swansea East.
If you would like to come along to a future event, keep an eye on my social media channels or get in touch with my office.
A huge thank you to our speakers and to everyone who came along.
