Nottingham Women’s Centre’s Women’s Health Matters project aims to bring education, empowerment & awareness to women about their health and well-being. Women’s Health Matters is here for you, because your health is so important. We’re here to increase knowledge and raise awareness about women’s health issues. We’re creating spaces for conversation to break down barriers. Together, we’ll smash taboos about gynaecological health! And we’re here to listen to your lived experiences on these matters too.
“We are delighted to receive funding from the Women’s Health Community Fund. This money will help us to ensure that we can reach more women in the communities that we work with, to provide education and empowerment on gynaecological health. We are excited to create space for important conversations, remove stigma and to celebrate women’s bodies and health.
Our workshops will give women the opportunity to feel seen and heard, and feedback to us on what topics are the most important to them. Thank you to Holland & Barrett, and Wellbeing of Women for the grant!”
I am thrilled to continue our partnership with Holland & Barrett and the important work that we are doing to improve women’s health education across the life-course from within local communities working with marginalised women. This aligns closely to the work that our Health Collective is doing to give a voice to women from marginalised communities, enable them to influence policy and provide a space for them to share experiences and solutions to common problems.
This new funding initiative will enable grassroots organisations to reach more women from marginalised communities. From periods to menopause, the workshops being funded by the Women’s Health Community Fund will provide critical resources, education, and support, fostering an environment where every woman can thrive and be heard.
We’ve already seen the huge impact that community-based projects like Women’s Health Matters can make, so we’re pleased to be able to offer much needed support and funding in partnership with Wellbeing of Women. At Holland & Barrett, we are on a mission to increase education and access to women’s health, break down stigmas, and offer women a safe space to go for support at all life-stages from menstruation to menopause and beyond.
The fund, which has committed a total of £75,000 since September 2023, forms part of Holland & Barrett’s ‘Women’s Wellness Commitment’.
A friendly creative atmosphere, a safe space to have your say, where women are encouraged to explore their creativity to produce poetry, for all levels. We will also look at
poetry structures; bring along your favourite published poems to discuss. There are no
rules, just respect.
The group meets in person and using Zoom, so you may need to have Internet access and a quiet space to participate.
Come along to our monthly Laughter yoga wellbeing group with Tara, taking place every second Tuesday of the month.
It’s on towards the end of the Coffee and Chat, so come along if you are there for that too! It’s all about the breath and releasing endorphins – no previous experience, sportswear or yoga mat required.
