Women's Fact-Share Social

A new monthly gathering for women is launching on the Isle of Wight this summer, offering a relaxed and welcoming space to discuss health and wellbeing topics, hear from local experts and enjoy good conversation. The idea behind the project is simple: to create a friendly, non-judgemental space where women can come together to talk openly about health and wellbeing issues that affect everyday life. Many women say they feel overwhelmed by the amount of advice, products and conflicting information available online, particularly around topics such as menopause, supplements, hormones, sleep, nutrition and healthy ageing. Women’s Fact-Share Social aims to cut through some of that noise by bringing local women together with trusted speakers and specialists for informal talks and discussion. The sessions are not intended to be formal workshops or clinical health programmes. Instead, they will provide an opportunity to hear from knowledgeable local professionals, ask questions, share experiences and enjoy conversation in a relaxed social setting. Doors open at 5.30pm, with talks beginning at 6pm and finishing by 7.30pm.
