ChangeXtra is a business where women with lived experience support conversations about menopause. I participated in the Ingenuity Impact scheme in 2020. Throughout my year as a student, I was on the Ingenuity training pathway to develop my business plan with the support of some inspirational resources and speakers. ChangeXtra aims to break down the stigma around menopause. Our goal is to educate, empathise and evaluate to build more understanding and awareness of menopause. If you think you have a good idea that you want to grow, the Ingenuity Lab is a wonderful supportive environment that gives you access to all the expertise and support anyone could need to start in business. Women need support to manage through the menopause and thanks to donations towards the Ingenuity Lab and the volunteer business mentors, I can help women during this time. Without supporters like you, the Haydn Green Institute and the Ingenuity Lab, ChangeXtra would not exist. Thank you for helping to change my life and for enabling me to help others and change their lives for the better too!
