Our Mission:
While the discussion around the menopause is gradually becoming more open, there is still significant work to be done in promoting awareness that the menopause has the potential to be a positive experience. This can be achieved by ensuring individuals have access to evidence based information, thereby empowering them to make informed choices, tailored to their individual needs.
