Following the success of the first ever PCOS Awareness Week last year, we've now turned Awareness Week into an annual event.
It's pretty hard to understand PCOS unless you have it or know someone that does. Despite there being hundreds of thousands (if not millions!!) of women in the UK living with PCOS, it's so easy to feel isolated or that no one else understands what you are going through. PCOS Awareness Week is about creating as much noise and awareness as possible about the condition, and letting people out there know about the work that Verity does supporting women living with PCOS.
During PCOS Awareness Week, there's lots of different activities happening, which are run by Verity but also by women with PCOS and businesses that support the work Verity does, (can you do something in your local area?)
The activities we have in store so far for PCOS Awareness Week include:
- Exhibiting at The Fertility Show
- A PCOS Puzzle
- PCOS conference with sessions on long term health, excess hair, alternative therapy, nutrition and hormones
- A PCOS friendly diet plan by Atkins Diet
- PCOS Awareness Twibbon
- Closing Verity's first PCOS Research study
- PCOS and Verity inspired iPhone socks
- Updates for Facebook and Twitter
- De-bunking some of the common myths around PCOS
- More special discounts and offers for Verity members
So, these are just some of the many things Verity has going on for PCOS Awareness Week. See how you can get involved and whats going on during the week.
PCOS Awareness Week Is going to need your support if it's to be successful in the future.
