What we do

Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales (FTWW) is a patient-led voluntary organisation set up to support, inform, educate, and advocate for girls and women in Wales who are living with a range of chronic, recurrent, often invisible health conditions and who are not receiving adequate (or fair) treatment. We provide peer-led support and information, as well as empowering members to challenge unfair policy and practice, and facilitating opportunities for them to get involved in campaigning and service design.

Currently, FTWW is campaigning on endometriosis, menopause, and recurrent miscarriage, but our support network includes women living with a wide array of physical and mental health conditions.

Who do we support

We are open to all girls and women across Wales who feel that their health needs are not being met. We provide online support and resources via our Facebook group and website, as well as over the telephone, and in person. Currently, in both North and South Wales, we try to have an informal meet-up every couple of months but one-to-one support is also available upon request* (Covid restrictions have curtailed this activity presently). Occasionally, these groups will carry out workshops with Welsh Government or the local health board(s), for example.

This service is for people of all ages.
