The Eve Appeal
About Us
Organization Description
The Eve Appeal is the leading gynaecological cancer charity in the United Kingdom. There are five gynae cancers, which are womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal cancer. Our aim is to prevent gynae cancers from developing in the first place, but if they do develop, we want to make sure they’re detected early so more people survive their diagnosis.
To make our goals a reality, we fund research in four key areas: uncovering the causes of gynae cancers, predicting a person’s risk of developing them, identifying how people can reduce their risk, and improving their detection and diagnosis.
We educate people about gynae health, from knowing their anatomy, what’s normal and what’s not, and when to seek help. We increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of gynae cancers and what people should do if they spot anything they’re worried about.
Through our Ask Eve nurse service, we answer people’s questions about their gynae health, gynae cancers and provide vital reassurance. This free, confidential and expert support is available over the phone, via email, and through our website.
