Plan your own fundraiser
Heavy menstrual bleeding, endometriosis, infertility, miscarriage, and menopause affect millions of women, yet so many still don’t get the care and support they need. Despite the devastating impact of these conditions, women’s health remains chronically underfunded and overlooked.
We need your help to change this. Every penny you raise will fund ground-breaking research to improve the lives of women, girls, and babies. Without amazing supporters like you, none of this would be possible.
The best part? Fundraising can be fun and completely tailored to you! Whether you love baking, running, hosting quiz nights, or getting creative, there’s a way to make a difference while doing something you enjoy.
However you choose to raise funds, you’ll be helping to transform women’s health for years to come.

The more people who hear about your fundraiser, the more support you’ll receive.

Wellbeing of Women is a charity close to my heart and have tried to support it over the years in different ways in an effort to raise awareness of women's health and the work the charity does
Jan, Community Supporter
When Jan and her husband Keith retired from the NHS, they saw it as the perfect opportunity to dedicate more time to fundraising.
Keith’s family marmalade recipe, passed down from his father, had always been a hit, with friends and family raving about it. Inspired by the praise, they decided to put their skills to good use - making 1lb jars of marmalade to raise money for Wellbeing of Women.
Eight years later, their delicious marmalade is still in demand! Their local greengrocer even stocks it to sell on the charity’s behalf, helping them raise even more for this important cause. As long as people keep enjoying their marmalade, Jan and Keith are more than happy to keep making it - one jar at a time!
