WHO WE ARE
Verity is a registered charity for those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The group was originally established in 1997, and became a charity in 2003, to share the truth about the condition and improve the lives of individuals living with PCOS. The charity is run by a dedicated board of Volunteer Trustees supported by a team of further volunteers, who all support thousands both in the UK and internationally.
Verity is run by individuals with PCOS who are not medically qualified and so cannot offer specific advice. It is always recommended that you seek professional medical advice.

WHAT WE DO
Verity is a patient advocacy group that aims to raise awareness around the condition.
Additionally, Verity provides a very active discussion board and social media community where those with PCOS can give and receive peer support.
The Verity Trustees also work hard behind the scenes to promote PCOS as a key issue within the medical, political and surrounding health communities. This involves activities such as meetings, consultation on projects and media awareness. Given the limited time and resources we are selective of schemes that we support and partake in, therefore if you are interested in supporting us as volunteer you can find out more here.
PCOS UK, the medical education arm of Verity, has been formed to improve the awareness and knowledge of PCOS and related conditions among healthcare professionals in the UK.
