Active Partnerships Menopause Commitment
Active Partnerships are committed to raising awareness of the physical and mental health benefits of an active lifestyle and supporting those who are directly, or indirectly, experiencing the effects and symptoms of perimenopause and menopause.
Research shows that menopause can have a negative impact on women’s participation in physical activity, and that symptoms are a significant barrier, leading to low confidence, capability and motivation.
Active Partnerships are committed to taking positive action within their local areas, and collectively we will:
- Raise awareness and educate about signs and symptoms and the benefits of being active during perimenopause and menopause.
- Promote and normalise conversations internally and externally with partners and stakeholders.
- Encourage an environment of openness and transparency where everyone can talk about menopause.
- Change mindsets on how women can be supported through key life stages to be active in a way that suits them.
- Work collaboratively to influence the system to remove barriers currently preventing women from being as active as they would like to be.
- Create accessible, well-publicised policy or guidance documents for colleagues and line managers.
- Share knowledge and expertise as well as signpost to support and resources.
