What's new?

Our trustee, Diane Danzebrink had teamed up with ForMed to produce an animated video to help explain what women go through from perimenopause to post menopause.

The script is based on real-life experiences and the stories are beautifully told.

The team behind it are Emma Lazenby (director), Liz Harkman (producer) and Diane Danzebrink and Hazel Hayden (executive producers) with support from The Burdett Trust for Nursing, Menopause Support and Bristol Menopause and The National Lottery.
