Menopause Champions at work aim to help colleagues affected by the menopause. They are a point of contact for colleagues needing a listening ear or someone to initially talk to if they are not comfortable talking to their managers. Menopause Champions will also signpost colleagues to the wider Menopause support available in the Trust. The role of the Menopause Champion is to raise awareness amongst all staff that menopause in the workplace will be supported sensitively with dignity and respect.

Our champions have support from the team of Health and Wellbeing Facilitators, who can support and from time to time, bring all champions together for a catch up and chat through how things are going.

How do I become a Menopause Champion? 

The Wellbeing Team is proud to offer Menopause Champions Training open to all colleagues, regardless of gender or role within the Trust.

This engaging and informative session will equip you with the skills and confidence to have supportive conversations around menopause, helping to foster a more inclusive and understanding workplace.
