Fundraising at work

  Anytime

  Anywhere

Fundraising at work is a fun and easy way to bring colleagues together, raise awareness of ovarian cancer, and support Ovacome’s life-changing services. From office events to team challenges, there’s something for everyone – so why not make a difference together?

Team up to make an impact

Nominate Ovacome as your company’s Charity of the Year, and we’ll help you plan exciting fundraisers – think raffles, bake sales, even a friendly office bake-off!

Short on time? No problem! Get involved in one of our key awareness campaigns, like Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month (March), World Ovarian Cancer Day (8 May), or Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month (September).

We’ll provide all the fund and awareness raising materials you need, plus our team can visit your workplace – online or in person – to run an awareness session, helping your team recognize the often-misinterpreted signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Just £248 could pay for three months of online support groups and workshops for someone diagnosed with ovarian cancer

How can my workplace get involved?

Payroll giving

Ask your employer if they offer a Payroll Giving scheme. If not, why not suggest setting one up? This is a way to support Ovacome via your PAYE wage or pension without paying tax on your donation.

Hold an event

Organise a fundraising event to support those affected. We can supply you with a letter of authorisation you can use when approaching local businesses for items like raffle prizes. Share your ideas with our team and we’ll help bring your vision to life!

Take on a challenge

Get your colleagues together and take on a challenge as a team! Whether it's running, walking, or cycling, we’ve got spots in hundreds of events across the country. It’s a great way to have fun, stay active, and raise vital funds.

Match giving

You can ask your workplace to match the funds you raise for Ovacome. Match Giving is a simple way to maximise your fundraising efforts, with hundreds of organizations across the UK pledging to match sums their employees raise for their chosen charities. 

Set up a personal or team fundraising page and share why Ovacome’s work matters to you. Add the link to your email signature, share it with colleagues, and encourage them to spread the word!

Bake-off

The team at Tate & Lyle Sugars put a twist on the classic bake-off with a savoury showdown! Each week a teammate brought their best bake and colleagues donated what they thought it was worth. The winner? The one who raised the most – helping them hit £1,055.40 with match funding!

Walking challenge

A fantastic team of twelve from Distinctly took on the Chiltern 50k Ultra Challenge for Ovacome –11 hours, 70,000 steps, and plenty of pastries later, they crossed the finish line! Their incredible effort raised £6,118.12, helping to keep Ovacome’s vital support services running.
