About Us

Our Story

UK Cervical Cancer is a small non-profit charity powered by a team of volunteers. We're committed to creating awareness of how cervical cancer can be prevented.

We work in the UK and developing countries wherever women and their families are disadvantaged.

The Trustees for UK Cervical Cancer came together after realising they shared a mutual desire to see more done for vulnerable women impacted by cervical cancer. They saw the increasing need for help and decided it was time to offer support to women directly.

In a short amount of time, UK Cervical Cancer has made significant strides both nationally and internationally.

By spreading awareness of early detection methods like screenings and vaccinations, and emphasizing healthy lifestyles, communities empower individuals to take control of their well-being. This education also ensures access to timely treatment and support services, enhancing health outcomes worldwide.
