Menopause Cafe Burntwood

Join us for a relaxed chat about all things Menopause. The Menopause Cafe is for everyone regardless of your menopause journey. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age or gender. You may be experiencing menopause now, or want to be prepared before it happens to you. You may want to learn more to better support your partner, parents, friends or colleagues. There is no set agenda as you start the conversation.

Rachel Weiss had the idea for Menopause Cafe in 2017, inspired by Kirsty Wark’s BBC programme “Menopause and Me” and the Death Cafe model she had already been part of. Rachel, Gail Jack and Lorna Fotheringham held the world’s first Menopause Cafe in Perth, Scotland that June 2017. They didn’t know whether it would just be the three of them talking to each other, or if other people would join them. About 30 people turned up and talked and asked for more Menopause Cafes.

Menopause Cafes are held:

• With no intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action. Please do not attend with the intention of selling a product or service.
• As an open, respectful and confidential space where people can express their views safely.
• On a not-for-profit basis.
• Alongside refreshing drinks and nourishing food – and cake!

The cafe duration is for 2-hours. You can drop in anytime and stay for as long or little as you like. The Redmore Inn is a fabulous venue, with plenty of space and a large car park. They offer refillable coffee and tea for £2 per cup as well as soft drinks.

Cakes and other items will also be available to purchase, but this will be cash only.
