Why do I need a GRANT ?

Let’s take a step back and evaluate what you’re facing.

You are a woman with a disability—whether visible, such as mobility impairments, or hidden, such as a chronic illness, mental health condition, or neurological disorder.


You may even be navigating multiple disabilities, each presenting its own set of challenges in the workplace.

Now, with the onset of menopause, these challenges are compounded.


You may be experiencing:

🔥 Brain fog

😴 Fatigue & disrupted sleep, leading to persistent tiredness

⚡ Difficulty concentrating

💢 Joint and muscle pain

🤯 Severe headaches or migraines

❤️ Heart palpitations



Workplace stress may feel more overwhelming than ever.

😟 Anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, and irritability can take a toll on your confidence and self-esteem, making you question your abilities.

📈 Increased sensitivity to stress and workplace pressures can make even routine tasks feel daunting.


On top of this:

🌡️ Temperature sensitivity may leave you battling discomfort in an office that feels too hot.

🚽 Bladder issues can lead to frequent, urgent trips to the bathroom, adding stress during meetings.

🩸 Changes in menstrual patterns—such as heavy, irregular periods—can be difficult to manage in a professional setting.



You are not alone in this. 💜

However, what you need now is specialised menopausal care—delivered by trained experts who truly understand the complexities of menopause.


❌ This is NOT something your local GP typically has the expertise to fully address.

❌ Nor is it a condition that can simply be managed within standard mental health and wellness support programs.


✅ Menopause requires a comprehensive, tailored approach—one that treats both the physical and mental symptoms effectively.


✨ You deserve care that acknowledges the unique challenges you face and provides the right medical, hormonal, and lifestyle interventions to help you thrive, not just cope.









🌟 How the Grant Works

(Subject to Qualification & Approval)

The grant provides support based on how your disability or health condition impacts you at work. It considers the workplace barriers you face and how your condition affects your daily job performance—whether it’s mobility issues, fatigue, visual impairment, tools for computer use, or coaching.
