The Lydia Osteoporosis Project Community Café was established at Queen Margaret University in 2025 and creates a safe and welcoming space for people living with osteoporosis and osteopenia, as well as those caring for someone with the condition. It offers an opportunity not only to access information, but to share experiences, ask questions and ensure that lived experiences are heard.
NEXT CAFE at Queen Margaret University: Wednesday 19th August 2-4pm.
The Lydia Osteoporosis Project is inviting people living with osteoporosis or osteopenia to come together for support, advice and open conversation at its next Lydia Osteoporosis Community Café.
