Hormonal Health in and out of the workplace
- Menopause Support in and out of the Workplace is a government funded Project which will help people with menopausal health issues to remain in or return to the workforce.
- BVSC has formed a partnership with DRC (Disability Resource Centre) and Salus Fatigue Foundation to provide free support to the citizens of Birmingham and Solihull by engaging with both individuals in the community, and small or medium sized enterprise employers.
