The All Party Parliamentary Group On Menopause

Promoting and Supporting Women going through the Menopause and Challenging current policy in Parliament

The APPG on Menopause was created by Parliamentarians to provide a platform to tackle the lack of understanding around Menopause amongst policymakers, the public and employers. The Group also provides a platform in the heart of Parliament that highlights the issues and challenges around Menopause that deserve attention, as well as acting as a forum for discussion.
