SUMMARY:Menopause Café
DESCRIPTION:Loughborough University have organised a Menopause Café. \nThe Menopause Café aims to break down any stigma around menopause and increase awareness of the impact of menopause on those experiencing it. The Café will be held in the Rutland Building – Collaboration Space (0.02) on Tuesday 14th October 2025 between 12pm and 2pm. \nA Menopause Cafe is a discussion group\, open to all ages and genders.  It is open to all University colleagues who want to talk about menopause\, to share their stories\, experiences and questions – all made that little bit easier with tea\, coffee and biscuits. \nAs October is Menopause month\, this café will include a session led by Sarah Van Zoelen from Occupational Health to provide information and guidance on navigating menopause. \nMany people feel that they should just ‘get on with’ the menopause\, with some never talking to their friends\, family or their manager about it.  People can come along to share their experiences or just listen\, hopefully leaving with a clearer sense of the impact of menopause on those who are experiencing it. \nThe intention is for a café to be held each term\, and the next one will be held in February.  Further details will follow closer to the time.
