About Us
Ovacome is the UK’s ovarian cancer support charity. We have been providing personalised support and information to those diagnosed with ovarian cancer and their loved ones since 1996.
We are at the heart of the ovarian cancer community and as a membership charity, we work directly to meet the needs of those affected by the disease across the UK.
Our support services include:
- Telephone, email, text and instant chat support
- An online forum
- Regional events including health and wellbeing days and information sessions
- A programme of online talks, 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 run our B.E.A.T symptom awareness campaign among the general public and educate student doctors and nurses through our Education programmes.
B is for bloating that doesn’t come and go
E is for eating difficulty and feeling full more quickly
A is for abdominal and pelvic pain you feel most days
T is for toilet changes in urination or bowel habits
We work alongside clinicians and researchers to ensure that patient voices are heard in policy and research. Since 2018 we have had a specific focus on addressing health inequalities and with over 120 local or specialist grassroots and partner organisations we have been working to better meet the needs of those who are experiencing barriers to accessing diagnosis, treatment and support – with some notable successes.
We have also been nominated for, and won a series of awards for our inclusion work – including the BBC 4 All in the Minds award, The national excellence charity awards and the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition award for innovation.
