Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales (FTWW) is the only patient-led charity in Wales dedicated solely to female health equality.
We support, inform, educate, and empower girls, women and those assigned female at birth (AFAB) in Wales who are suffering a range of health conditions and who are not receiving adequate (or fair) treatment. As ‘experts by experience’, we and our growing team of volunteers, advocate for women’s healthcare needs locally, nationally, and at a UK-level.
We are a formally constituted voluntary / not-for-profit organisation, registered with Community and Voluntary Support Conwy, a member of both the Wales Council for Voluntary Action and Disability Wales. In August 2020, we became a registered charity (registered charity number 1191069).

- a very active online support group for those based in / receiving healthcare in Wales;
- email assistance;
- online and in-person support group meetings and events;
