A Safe, Supportive Space for Women Navigating Menopause
Welcome to CHC Menopause Café - A community-led space in Reading for open conversations, emotional wellbeing and support through hormonal transition.
You don't have to navigate menopause alone
CHC Menopause Café is a welcoming, judgement-free community space in Reading for women going through menopause and midlife transitions. We talk openly, listen deeply, and support each other because every woman deserves to feel heard.
What is CHC Menopause Café?
We are a not-for-profit community organisation based in Reading, Berkshire. We provide regular Menopause Café sessions and community-led support for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the broader midlife transition.
Menopause affects every woman differently. For some it brings physical symptoms. For others it brings emotional upheaval, anxiety, low mood, brain fog, loss of confidence, or a shift in identity that's hard to put into words. And yet far too many women still feel unheard, dismissed, or simply alone with what they're experiencing.
That's why CHC Menopause Café exists. We are not a medical clinic and we don't offer diagnoses or prescriptions. What we offer is something many women tell us is just as important. A safe, open, compassionate space where menopause can be discussed honestly, without judgement or stigma.
