Wellbeing of Women

We save and change the lives of women, girls and babies


From period problems and starting a family, to menopause and gynaecological cancers, we are here for women’s gynaecological and reproductive health.
Each year, millions of women benefit from our research, our campaigns and our health information.


With your help, we’re tackling the taboos surrounding women’s health and striving towards a better future for every woman, girl and baby.
Since 1964, we’ve invested more than £75 million in research to transform women’s health and wellbeing.


Many of the tests, treatments and cures we take for granted today started with research that we funded, including the use of ultrasound scanning in pregnancy and the importance of taking folic acid in pregnancy.


Our early research helped to discover the link between HPV and cervical cancer, leading to the first preventative school vaccination programme.
We want a future where every single woman has access to high-quality and accurate healthcare and information.
