Welcome to a more joyous midlife!

‘In the 100-year-life, 50 is only halfway through. It’s only lunchtime. ‘NOON is all about changing the story we tell as a culture about what women are for as they age.

‘We give you the support and tools to make the most of your next chapter – no matter what you might going through, whether that’s redundancy, divorce, bereavement, illness, caring for elderly parents, coping with teens or wrestling with financial issues.

Our research shows that midlife is not a crisis but a chrysalis. We’ll help you create a happier, more satisfying life. There really is much more to come!’
