[su_column size=”1/2″ center=”no” class=””]Chai and Chat meetings
Cysters from marginalised communities can often feel isolated and alone. At these informal meet-ups, Cysters can share information, talk about their experiences and support one other in a space where they belong. These sessions also promote self-care and listening skills. Cysters affected by reproductive health issue receive emotional support and are shown ways they can care for themselves through this peer network.[/su_column]

Public Health England have reported that in recent years the uptake of cervical screening has dropped considerably. Cysters have decided to take action and help increase this by working within the community to dispel the myths around cervical screening. We will be holding culturally sensitive and age appropriate drop in clinics with our trained nurses within community centres and places of worship.[/su_column]

Alone we cannot create change, however a Cysterhood can.
We hope that the Cysterhood motivates others to speak up and create change.[/su_column]
