What is Menopause and More?

Menopause and More is a community based project offering free menopause education, support and wellbeing walks for women in Rossendale.

​

Samara and Emma started the group in 2023 after noticing a big gap in local support. They were frustrated by the number of expensive services being offered, often by people without professional qualifications. They wanted to create something different; credible, inclusive and completely free. 

​​

Since their very first session on a sweltering summer's day in 2023, they have welcomed hundreds of women from across the Rossendale Valley and have plans to support many more.

​

What happens at a session?

Their sessions are relaxed, informative and designed to given women the confidence to navigate this stage of life. Each one includes:

• A clear introuduction to what menopause is - including signs and symptoms

• Practical advice on hormone support and self-care

• A no-holds-barred Q&A, where women are invited to ask anything and share openly.

They also bring in guest speakers to cover topics like:

• Skincare in midlife

• Mental health and wellbeing

• Yoga and movement

​

Everyone leaves with a handy information booklet.
