Meet our charity Tustees
We’re incredibly fortunate to have a dedicated team of Trustees who play a crucial role in driving our mission forward. Their diverse expertise, passion, and unwavering commitment to supporting those affected by endometriosis help shape the work we do.
​
Our Trustees actively engage in various events, offering their valuable insights, sharing the latest research, and providing clinical expertise to ensure that we’re always at the forefront of advancing medical understanding.
Their involvement goes beyond just their professional knowledge; they are advocates for change, tirelessly working to raise awareness, educate the community, and push for improved care and support for those living with endometriosis.
