⚽ At the home of just the kick of a ball away from our Reading HQ, our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainers partnered with STAR - Supporters Trust at Reading FC and Talking Royals, a peer to peer support group, to train a group of new Mental Health First Aiders to support football fans at matches and beyond.

At Bayer, we’re proud to have a team of Mental Health First Aiders providing a first point of call for mental health support, available to employees across the business. Our MHFA trainers, Yvonne and Lucy, have trained over 100 members of to support themselves, colleagues, friends and family.

Mental health challenges can affect anyone, at any time, which is why we were pleased to extend our Mental Health First Aid initiative beyond the workplace and into our local community.

With further training sessions in the works for 2025, together we hope to create an inclusive and supportive environment, while helping to tackle the stigma surrounding mental health in football.

This , we’re sharing results from a recent Bayer survey in over 2,000 UK women. Despite growing awareness around women's health, the findings reveal significant gaps in how menopause is understood, particularly for Black and Asian British women.

Key findings from the survey:

🔍 Open Discussions: Women from ethnic minority communities are less likely to have open discussions about menopause.

🔍 Access to Menopause Healthcare Services: Over half (54%) of Black British women and 44% of Asian British women felt their ethnicity affects their access to menopause healthcare services.

🔍 Education Gaps: Education about menopause is worryingly low in some communities, with only 50% of Asian British women and 45% Black British women recognising the most common symptom – hot flushes – compared to 81% of their White counterparts.

🔍 Feeling Underserved: Women across all ethnic groups felt underserved with a mere 22% of women felt supported by their healthcare providers, and 64% don’t receive the necessary support from partners. Nearly half (49%) believed that men do not understand the challenges of menopause, leading to 57% of women surveyed said they suffer in silence.

With the findings from the Menopause Mandate’s menopause survey of almost 20,000 women that also released this week, it’s clear that more still needs to be done to improve menopause awareness and care for all women.

It’s time to start having open conversations about menopause and challenging barriers to education, support and care. Together, we can create a more inclusive environment that empowers women to navigate menopause confidently.

As the number of people living with diabetes in the UK has topped 5 million for the first time – reaching an all-time high, raising awareness about the regular diabetes health checks this has never been so important.

can cause other health problems that can become serious if not picked up and monitored or treated in the early stage, including kidney disease. Did you know up to 2 in 5 people with Type 2 Diabetes ( ) could eventually develop Chronic Kidney Disease ( )?

CKD can progress silently, as most symptoms do not appear until the condition is advanced. It is estimated that CKD affects more than 160 million people with T2D worldwide. Early CKD diagnosis offers the chance for early intervention to help protect hearts and kidneys.

If you have T2D, attend your diabetes check-ups and talk to your GP about getting tested for CKD.

What is Pulmonary Hypertension?

Pulmonary Hypertension can affect anyone, regardless of age, s*x, race or ethnic background. The serious condition is commonly underdiagnosed but the symptoms can be managed with treatment.

This World Pulmonary Hypertension Day, we’re encouraging everyone to know the symptoms and always speak to your GP about any health concerns.

Did you know sleep disturbances are a common yet often overlooked symptom of ?

As women transition into menopause, hormonal changes can lead to various symptoms, one of which is
trouble sleeping. This can manifest as frequent awakenings, due to hot flushes and the need to wake up to
pass urine.

Sleep is crucial for our overall health and well-being. When it's disrupted, it can impact on our:
- Mood
- Energy levels
- Heart health
- Work productivity

If you have been experiencing unexplained sleep disturbances that could be related to menopause, don’t let
sleepless nights become your norm. Speak to your healthcare professional to discuss your symptoms and
possible treatment options or lifestyle changes.

Can't make it down to our Baylab in Reading? No problem! This British Science Week we're bringing Baylab to you with experiments you can do at home. Mollie, aged 7, shows you how to make your very own slime! Before you start, be prepared and remember this is SCIENCE so safety is key!

Remember:
⚠️ Do not eat the slime - keep it away from young children
⚠️ Wear old clothes and gloves if you have sensitive skin
⚠️ Keep slime away from soft furnishings
⚠️ Ensure an adult is present when making and playing with slime
⚠️ Follow guidance and safety instructions listed on the packaging of each ingredient
⚠️ Food colouring can stain

So, what makes this an experiment? Here's the science bit: The contact lens solution contains a type of salt, an important part of the chemical reaction. It forms 'crosslinks' between the polymer chains in the glue, making it harder for them to slide over each other. In short, the contact lens solution makes the glue chemically stick to itself and become more solid and slime-like.

You'll need:
🧪 50 ml clear glue
🧪 0.5 tsp baking powder
🧪 Food colouring
🧪 Glitter (optional)
🧪 10ml contact lens solution

Le us know how you get on in the comments below or tagging us in pictures/videos of your creations!

Did you know (CKD) is the most common and a serious complication of (T2D)? As many as 40% of people with could eventually develop CKD. Yet it is generally underrecognised by many. As most symptoms do not appear until the condition is well advanced, many people living with diabetes are not aware of the risks or do not know how to take care of their kidneys.

One of the key ways to detect CKD early is through a simple test of your urine, known as the Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR). The test checks for the presence of albumin, an important protein, and creatinine, a waste product normally removed through your kidneys, in your urine. Healthy kidneys typically don’t allow albumin to pass into the urine, so a higher amount could be a sign of kidney damage.

Regular UACR testing can help detect any problems early, allowing for timely treatment and potentially slowing disease progression.

Remember, early detection is crucial in managing CKD. If you or your loved ones have T2D, talk to your GP and get tested. Let’s help spread awareness about the importance of UACR testing because your kidneys are vital to your overall health!
