Menopause Awareness Month

At My Sisters’ House Women’s Centre, we believe every woman deserves to feel heard, understood and supported through every stage of life.

Menopause can affect women in different ways, including their wellbeing and working lives. That’s why awareness, understanding and support matter.

Employers can make a real difference by listening without judgement, having open conversations, offering flexibility and making reasonable adjustments to help women feel comfortable and supported at work.

Let’s break the stigma, start the conversation and create workplaces where women feel valued, respected and empowered.

We need you to help - Your Community Cares to create white woollen hearts over the next couple of weeks - these will be handed out by community rail volunteers this November as a simple reminder to rail passengers and staff that their community cares about them.

The hearts you make can be any stitch, style or design but should be between 4cm and 10cm in size, they can be flat or stuffed, embellished or plain, the only requirement is that they are made using white wool, felt or fabric.

Whether you craft on your own, as a half term project with the kids or as part of an interest group, we would love you to get involved in this community project.

To help you get started, we have included a selection of knitting, crochet and felt patterns, there are plenty of helpful videos online to get you started too.

Completed hearts can be dropped off at any West Sussex library between now and 31 October.

Happy crafting!
