Resources for women in the UK
Verified helplines and funding for women in the United Kingdom, plus the fellowships and programmes currently open to you.
This page is shorter than the UAE and USA ones. It covers the national helplines and the main funding route, and it is being built out.
In the meantime, the opportunities below are open to women in the UK now, and the international page carries programmes with no country restriction.
