Focusing on the 51%: Women’s Health Wales Coalition Manifesto Launched
We are excited to announce the publication of the third sector Women’s Health Wales Coalition’s Manifesto for 2026-2030, Focusing on the 51%. As we approach the 2026 Senedd Elections, Focusing on the 51% sets out a clear vision for a future where the wellbeing of women, families, and wider society is assured. It calls on the next Welsh Government to make women’s health a priority across all policy areas, and for NHS Wales to ensure implementation of the 10-year Women’s Health Plan, published in 2024.
FTWW Members’ Webinars
FTWW’s webinar series for members continues, with February’s being a much-anticipated introductory session on how to be assertive. Coming up in March, we’ll be joined by Cambridge University researcher, Kate Sheridan, to explore the ‘good, the bad, and the ugly’ of Femtech.
Friends Take On SheUltra in Memory of Sarah
In memory of their colleague and friend, Sarah Seddon, who passed away unexpectedly in December, Ffion, Jordan, Suri, Charity and Ama will be taking on the SheUltra Women’s only Ultra marathon on the 11th April 2026 to raise money for FTWW in Sarah’s name.
FTWW x Period Dignity
We have been delivering more training on Period Dignity, covering the topics of menstrual health and wellbeing, period poverty, menopause, and the impact on education and employment. We were also delighted to deliver a ‘Lunch and Learn’ session with Welsh Government colleagues across all policy areas to share findings from the recently-concluded ‘SPPINN (Severe Period Pain Is Not Normal) Study.
Ramadan Resources
We would like to wish Muslims across Wales and beyond Ramadam Mubarak (a blessed Ramadan). Below are some resources which we hope will signpost information, advice and support, not only for our Muslim community observing Ramadan, but wider networks too – including employers, colleagues, friends, and communities.
Women’s Healthy Lives
FTWW Volunteer and Community Coordinator, Louise, was delighted to be joined by our Volunteer Fibroids Champion, Carina, at the Healthy Lives Community Engagement event at Cardiff City Stadium earlier this month, focused on the ‘health, wellbeing, screening, immunisations and support services’ available in local communities.
Still unheard: Gynaecological Cancer improvements fall short
As one of the organisations that provided evidence to the Senedd inquiry — and as chair of the Women’s Health Wales Coalition — FTWW remains deeply concerned that women and people registered female at birth (AFAB) in Wales are still being let down by the Welsh Government’s lack of action on gynaecological cancer. Two years on from the Committee’s original recommendations, far too many remain undelivered, leaving unacceptable gaps in care, support, and timely diagnosis.
Shaping the Future of Menopause Support in Wales
We were thrilled to attend the South Wales Menopause Community – MENOPT Event: ‘Shaping the Future of Menopause Support in Wales’ at the Senedd. Organised by Louise Herzog (Founder of MENOPT) and sponsored by Natasha Asghar MS, the event launched the South Wales Menopause Community Platform, a new regional initiative to bring more joined-up, inclusive menopause support across healthcare, workplaces and communities.
Specialist Mother and Baby Mental Health Unit Opened
Long-time followers of FTWW will be aware that perinatal mental health is one of our campaign areas, led by our Champion, Nia, whose own experiences of postpartum psychosis led her to campaign for a unit close to home with Welsh language provision.
Marking Disability History Month
December was Disability History Month, which saw a number of landmark events to mark the achievements of disabled people – and to keep the fight for disabled people’s rights at the forefront.
