It's been almost six months since we started our podcast 'Going the Extra Mile.' It came to be because we recognised that there are people among us—people who work to help others, raise awareness or form communities—and these are the people whose voices so rarely get heard. In this special edition, we look back on a few of the guests who spoke with us about their motivation, inspiration, and the values that lead them to selflessly spend their time and efforts creating a better community for others.Watch in video format here: https://www.itv.com/watch/news/going-the-extra-mile-the-selfless-voices-building-better-communities-across-northern-ireland/vntc2pm

For many women in Northern Ireland, getting the right help for peri-menopause and menopause can feel like an isolating and uphill battle.On this episode of UTV’s Going the Extra Mile, Carol Jordan discusses the issue with Roisin Hillman and Karen Pateman, the co-founders of the support group Menopause Together.They discuss the stark reality of a developing "two-tier" healthcare system, where accessing crucial treatments like HRT often depends on who can afford to go private or best describe their symptoms and the profound financial and personal impact the condition can have on a woman's ability to stay in the workforce.Beyond the challenges, this episode is ultimately about the power of building a community. Roisin and Karen share their mission to educate and empower women, giving them the tools, the knowledge, and the voice they need to effectively advocate for themselves with their GP.
