About us
Who we are
Ovacome is the UK’s national ovarian cancer support charity. We are at the heart of the ovarian cancer community and have been providing support and information to those affected by the disease for nearly 25 years.
We support any affected by ovarian cancer. This often includes the family and friends of those diagnosed, as well as healthcare professionals. We provide a Freephone support line, email and text support, expert information resources and a programme of digital and in-person events, which include clinical talks, wellbeing workshops and support groups.
We also work to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, as well as the lived experiences of those affected by it. We are the only UK providers of the highly successful Survivors Teaching Students programme, through which we educate student doctors and nurses about the signs of the disease with the help of volunteers living with ovarian cancer.
