FIBROIDS AWARENESS MONTH - Millions of women live with fibroids, yet many go undiagnosed for years because their symptoms are dismissed as "just a bad period."

This Fibroids Awareness Month, let's break the silence. Knowing the signs can lead to earlier diagnosis, better treatment options, and improved quality of life.
💜 Heavy periods are not something you have to simply live with.
💜 Persistent pelvic pain deserves attention.
💜 Your health matters.

Share this post to help raise awareness and encourage more conversations about uterine health.

A little reminder from all of us at NOWT 🤍

Womanhood is not a destination… it is a journey. One filled with growth, healing, resilience, joy, and countless moments of becoming.
We believe no woman should ever have to navigate that journey alone. Together, we find strength in shared stories, comfort in community, and hope in knowing there’s always someone walking beside us.
Here’s to lifting each other up, celebrating every milestone, and reminding one another that even on the hardest days, we never have to carry it all by ourselves.
Thank you to every woman who has been part of our journey so far. Your courage, kindness, and support are what make this community so special.
Here’s to continuing to navigate womanhood—together. Always. 💗✨
With love, from all of us at NOWT.

✨ HAPPY MONDAY! New week, new energy, new opportunities.

Swipe through for your gentle reminder that a new week doesn’t mean you have to rush or overwhelm yourself. It’s your garden—you get to choose exactly what grows, what you give your energy to, and how you pace yourself. 🌸🌱

Your only to-do list for today:
Keep smiling. ☀️
Be incredibly patient with yourself.
Enjoy your coffee (and maybe some chocolate!). ☕️🍫
Do something that makes your soul genuinely happy.

Breathe, pace yourself, and remember—you've absolutely got this. Let's make it another beautiful week! 🤍

HPV Work | We're proud to have worked alongside NHS Black Country ICB and a range of incredible partners to help improve awareness and understanding of HPV and cervical cancer prevention within our communities.

Through meaningful conversations and community engagement, we listened to the experiences, concerns, and questions people shared about HPV vaccination and cervical screening. These valuable insights highlighted the barriers many communities face and are helping to shape practical, culturally sensitive solutions.

As a result, we're developing:
✨ A visual, language-free guide to the cervical screening journey.
📚 Clear and accessible HPV vaccination and cervical screening resources.
🤝 Community-led and youth-led approaches, built around trusted voices to increase confidence, awareness, and informed decision-making.

Together, we're working towards improving HPV awareness and increasing vaccine and screening uptake to help prevent cervical cancer.

We’re still reliving such an unforgettable night at the NOWTS NHS Excellence Awards! 💙
We’re incredibly proud and still a little astonished to have been nominated, especially considering we’ve been established for less than a year. To be recognised alongside so many inspiring teams is an achievement we’ll never take for granted.
Although we didn’t take home the overall national award, we’re beyond proud to be Regional Champions for the Working in Partnership Award 🏆💙. This recognition means the world to us and is a testament to the passion, collaboration, and dedication of everyone involved.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us on our journey so far. This is only the beginning... and we’ll be back next year bigger, stronger, and more determined than ever! ✨
💙 Here’s to celebrating how far we’ve come and everything that’s still to come!
