About us
We are a grass roots organisation that formed through our common experience – of being perimenopausal and struggling! We are normal everyday women from very different lives and backgrounds but share the common purpose wanting to make the lives better of those suffering through menopause.
As any great passion, this has come from our own personal sufferings and so naturally this has led to us wanting to make a difference to others…
Our Vision
We would love to see a Plymouth where every women was aware and educated about menopause. We would also love to see a Plymouth where every employer, man, and child are also aware and able to support – where menopause is spoken about without stigma or judgement and where every women is able to get the help she needs for this transition to be easier. We believe that menopause is an empowering process and with the right help can be transformative in an amazing way. Through discussing menopause, we have also found it has a great power to break down boundaries and connect women through all walks of life, and so it is hugely powerful- not only for women – but for society as a whole.
