While Funny Women continues to provide a unique platform for women to extend their comedic and creative boundaries, we also aim to raise awareness and funds for a variety of causes that directly affect women.
Funny Women likes to work with organisations that represent all aspects of women’s wellbeing – laughing about life to help and heal women – and empowering them to make a difference – helping women find their voice.
Through our events, Funny Women has raised heaps of awareness and over £100,000 for the following charities during the last eight years:
