ladygardenfoundation.comAbout Lady Garden Foundation
The Lady Garden Foundation, established in 2014 by women affected by gynaecological cancers and rebranded from the Gynaecological Cancer Fund, is a UK women's health charity. Its mission is to shatter stigma, boost awareness, and fund research into ovarian, womb, cervical, vulval, and vaginal cancers. The foundation's bold, taboo-challenging ethos drives collaboration, innovation, and advocacy to empower women, improve early diagnosis, advance treatments, and enhance patient experiences nationwide. It prioritises project funding for clinical research, health education, awareness campaigns, and community outreach, benefiting UK women at risk of, living with, or recovering from these cancers.
What Lady Garden Foundation funds
The foundation funds project-based work in clinical research, health education, awareness campaigns, and community outreach focused on gynaecological cancers. Specific areas include ovarian, womb, cervical, vulval, and vaginal cancers. Supported activities may involve research posts, media initiatives, and events promoting open discourse. The foundation's funding has a London emphasis, though it supports work benefiting women across the UK. It does not fund core costs, unrestricted support, capital, emergency relief, or non-gynaecological issues.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities and academic institutions, primarily large research hospitals and expert organisations. The foundation targets established entities with a London emphasis. Beneficiaries are UK women at risk of, living with, or recovering from gynaecological cancers. No income thresholds are specified, but the foundation focuses on organisations with relevant expertise and capacity for large-scale projects.
What Lady Garden Foundation doesn't fund
The foundation does not fund core costs, unrestricted support, capital projects, emergency relief, or any issues outside gynaecological cancers. It also does not support non-gynaecological health conditions or general women's health topics unrelated to the five specified cancers.
