OUR CHARITY PARTNERS
We are delighted to be partnering with Wellbeing of Women, the women’s health charity saving and changing the lives of women, girls and babies.
Wellbeing of Women believes that women's lives should not be limited by their gynaecological and reproductive health and their mission is to improve health and wellbeing through research, education and advocacy.
Wellbeing of Women wants a future where every single woman has access to high-quality and accurate healthcare and information.
Women’s health remains chronically underfunded and neglected with issues like heavy menstrual bleeding, period pain, endometriosis, infertility, miscarriage and menopause having a devastating physical and emotional impact on millions of people.
By supporting them with the WIW Summit, we can help them work to transform the health and wellbeing of women, girls and babies.
We couldn’t think of a better partner to work with and raise money for. Five per cent of the WIW Summit turnover will be given directly to Wellbeing of Women, so by joining us an attendee, sponsor or partner you are helping women, girls and babies get access to better health.

The 30% Club is a global campaign consisting of more than 1,800 CEOs and chairs of the world’s largest companies committed to achieving gender equality in business leadership. For 13 years, the 30% Club focus has been on achieving a minimum of 30% of women on boards of mainly listed companies. We’re pleased this has been achieved in the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Ireland and most recently Malaysia. However, despite progress, our initial target of seeing women holding 30% of board positions remains a stretch for many organisations across the world. Even in countries where boards have met, or surpassed, this target, a deeper review of the data reveals the vast majority of those are in non-executive roles and it’s rare to see female board or committee chairs. We also know that in the USA and UK, representation for women of colour at every managerial level remains far lower than the numbers of white women and that it reduces with every rung up the corporate ladder. Moving forwards, the 30% Club will dually campaign for an increased number of women in C-suite roles while encouraging further progress in the boardroom. It is critical that the 30% Club encourages business leaders to commit to being on the path to gender parity.
