🎀 Breast Screening Saves Lives 🎀

All women aged 50 up to their 71st birthday are invited for free NHS breast screening.

Yet, less than half attend their first appointment when invited. Early detection makes a difference — it could save your life. 💗

👉 If you’ve been invited but missed or didn’t book, you can still arrange an appointment with your local NHS breast screening service — even if your invite was weeks, months, or years ago.

🌸 Menopause Awareness: Let's Talk About It 🌸
Menopause is a natural phase of life — yet for many, it still feels like a taboo topic. It's time to change that.
🧠 What is Menopause?
Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. It’s diagnosed after 12 months without a period and can bring a range of physical and emotional changes.
💬 Common Symptoms Include:

Hot flushes
Night sweats
Mood changes
Sleep disturbances
Brain fog
Vaginal dryness
Changes in libido

💪 You’re Not Alone
Every woman experiences menopause differently. Some breeze through it, others face challenges — and all deserve support, understanding, and access to the right care.
💡 Let’s Break the Silence
Talking openly about menopause helps normalize the experience and empowers women to seek help, share tips, and support each other.
📣 Join the Conversation
Whether you're going through menopause, supporting someone who is, or just want to learn more — drop into our Menopause Café anytime between 10am-4pm Tuesday 21st October at Prittlewell Priory Visitors Centre.
