FUNDING PIONEERING MEDICAL RESEARCH TO SAVE THE LIVES OF WOMEN AND BABIES

Wellbeing of Women champions women’s health by investing in pioneering research to find cures and treatments across the breadth of reproductive health and childbirth.

Over the past 56 years, Wellbeing of Women’s research has contributed to many of the tests and treatments that now form part of everyday clinical practice, saving the lives of countless women and babies.

Our research encompasses:
• Pregnancy and childbirth – including preterm birth, miscarriage, fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia and fertility issues.
• Issues affecting quality of life – including incontinence, endometriosis, heavy periods, PCOS and the menopause.
• Gynaecological cancers – over 21,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer each year and the number of incidences is on the rise.

Despite this, reproductive health and childbirth remains underfunded and overlooked, receiving just over 2% of publicly funded medical research.

Leaving a gift in your will to Wellbeing of Women, no matter how large or small, is an incredibly powerful way of ensuring this vital research continues into the future.

With your help, we can address the gender imbalance in health research and make a real difference to the health of women and their families now, and in generations to come.

Thank you for your support.
