Raising money for

Wellbeing of Women

Charity Registration No. 239281

Wellbeing of Women is the only UK charity dedicated to solving the health problems that affect women by funding medical research and training into all aspects of reproductive health.

Over the past 40 years, we have invested millions of pounds into funding the very best in medical research and training, resulting in some remarkable progress. In fact, every woman living in the UK since 1964 will have benefited from advances in healthcare made possible by Wellbeing of Women.

Half of all women in the UK still experience a reproductive health problem during their lifetime, be it trouble conceiving, intensely painful periods or gynaecological cancer. Wellbeing of Women is the only charity dedicated to changing this by funding medical research that will benefit these women and the professionals who diagnose and treat them.

Wellbeing of Women is working hard to improve women's health. Yet, despite our best efforts, we still receive more research grant applications than we are able to fund. With your help, we could support more research projects and together discover solutions that will enable women to get more out of life.

My story

I am Hiking the Himalayas for WOW!

Wellbeing of Women (WOW) is the only UK charity to invest in finding solutions for all of the health problems that affect women, wherever they may live, by (i) funding grants for medical research into issues affecting women's health, (ii) awarding fellowships and scholarships to researchers, practitioners and students in fields of women's health issues and (iii) providing reliable information on, and thereby increasing the awareness of, issues affecting women's health. These issues include premature births (40,000 premature babies are born in the UK each year), miscarriage (1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage), ovarian cancer (only 30% of women survive ovarian cancer). Next April, I am joining other women in "Girls-Get-Tough! Hike the Himalayas" to raise money for WOW.
