Come solo or bring a friend, enjoy a cosy atmosphere, and meet a community of fellow makers over a hot drink, conversation, and craft.

There’s no pressure to finish every book or have all the answers: just come along with your thoughts, curiosity, and a love of good company.

Our very first session in June will be all about shaping the club together. Join us to meet fellow book lovers, chat all things books, and help create a structure that everyone will love moving forward. We’ll also be choosing our reading list for the rest of the year, so come along with book ideas in mind... every suggestion will go into the pot!

The aim is that all books chosen will be available in any format (Kindle / similar, audio and as a book), so you can enjoy them in a way that works for you. We also encourage sourcing books second-hand where possible.

Second Wednesday of the month, 10am-12pm

August: there is no drop-in service as Jo is away, see you in September!

All Things Menopause! Drop-in.
Resourcing You, Resourcing Your Workplace

Jo will be at Lemon & Jinja on the second Wednesday of every month, sipping lovely coffee, ready to chat to anyone who wants to pop in and join her.

If you have specific questions about MENOPAUSE whether for yourself, your partner, or your workplace, Jo will be there to answer your questions.

If you need a listening ear or somewhere to download how it's impacting you, that's fine too. It'll be a safe place for you to do so.

Jo can help you find solutions and a way forward, whether that's related to you personally or your workplace.

If others are there too, you can chat together and support each other.

If no one comes in, that's fine, as Jo will be getting bits done, but we recommend you come to pick her brain!
