🌸 Spotlight on Women's Health: Hope for PCOS 🌸
PCOS affects 1 in 10 womenand people assigned female at birth—about 3.5 million in the UK, causing symptoms like irregular periods and mental health challenges. In partnership with Dr Carol Percy and Verity, we co-developed Hope for PCOS. Initially funded by our social enterprise, with additional support from a grant from the Waterloo Foundation, Hope for PCOS has reached over 700 people to date, with over 80 places on a course often filling within 48 hours.
We are working to expand the programme in future years, conduct further research, and prioritise tailored content to reach underserved communities. For instance, South Asian women are four times more likely to develop PCOS, so we’re planning to adapt the content to better support them. The high demand shows a real need for this support, and we are exploring options for delivering Hope for PCOS at scale as part of usual care. 💪✨
