Menopause Matters: Local Support Available at Tesco Oakham Awareness Day
Rutland County Council is inviting the community to an important event dedicated to raising awareness and providing support for those experiencing menopause.
On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, the Council will be hosting a Menopause Awareness Day pop-up at Tesco, 96 South St, Oakham, LE15 6BQ, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. This initiative is part of a wider effort to ensure residents have access to the resources and support networks they need to navigate this significant stage of life.
The event aims to create an informal, welcoming, and confidential space where people can talk openly about their experiences and learn about the help available locally.
What to Expect at the Event:
The drop-in session offers a great opportunity to:
Learn about local services: Discover the specific support services and healthcare pathways available right here in Rutland.
Connect with support networks: Meet representatives from local groups and organisations who offer peer support, advice, and a friendly ear.
Get resources and advice: Whether you're looking for information on symptoms, treatment options, or simply seeking validation, the team will be there to assist.
Have a friendly chat: The session is perfect for anyone seeking a low-pressure environment to ask questions or just talk to someone who understands.
Rutland County Council is emphasising the importance of this topic, noting that the Menopause Matters event is crucial for breaking down stigmas and ensuring women feel supported.
If you are experiencing menopause, approaching it, or simply want to learn how to support a family member or colleague, this event is for you.
