The Eve Appeal is the leading UK national charity funding research and raising awareness into the five gynaecological cancers – womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal. We were set up to prevent gynaecological cancers and save lives by funding ground-breaking research focused on developing effective methods of risk prediction, earlier detection and developing screening for all of the five gynae cancers. We have played a crucial role in providing seed funding, core infrastructure funding and project funding in addition to campaigning to raise awareness.The world-leading research that we fund is ambitious and challenging but our vision is simple: A future where gynaecological cancers are a disease of the past.

Every day in the UK 58 women and people with gynae organs are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer and 21 will die. The Eve Appeal are determined to realise a future where gynae cancers are diseases of the past.

There is a lot of shame and stigma surrounding women’s bodies and gynaecological cancers. Helping us to break the taboos around gynae health so that everyone knows their normal and are comfortable talking about any changes will encourage women and people with gynae organs to get the medical help they need, when they need it.
