Wellbeing of Women is the only UK charity dedicated to funding research, education and advocacy across all of women's reproductive and gynaecological health, including menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, childbirth, gynaecological cancers, menopause and incontinence. It raises money to invest in medical research and the development of specialist doctors and nurses working in these fields. The charity also disseminates information and hosts regular webinars on women's health.
The charity is based in London, and consists of: a team of staff and volunteers; a board of trustees headed up by Professor Dame Lesley Regan, and a Research Advisory Committee of leading experts.
The Duchess of Edinburgh became the charity's patron in 2021.
Ambassadors include Baroness Karren Brady of Knightsbridge, Carol Vorderman, Fiona Bruce, and Kate Silverton.
