Blood, Sweats and Tears Menopause Event
On World Menopause day - 18 October 2023 we held this event at the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough. Both professionals and members of the public were invited to this event which was filmed by Strive Academic Centre. This is order for key information to continue to be utilised as a learning resource tool by relevant professionals and raise awareness to local people.
Lisa Bosomworth - Project Lead opened the event and shared an emotional and heartfelt introduction about her own menopause experience.
