Help us mark our 30th anniversary and hold an event this summer

30 years ago, Sarah Dickinson gathered around her kitchen table with other people living alongside ovarian cancer. Together at that table, they founded Ovacome. 30 years on, Ovacome provides life-changing support and information across the UK, none of which would be possible without our supporters. Will you save a seat for Ovacome at your table and fundraise in aid of vital services?

Why fundraise for Ovacome?

Ovacome receives no government funding. That's why we rely on our fundraisers and donors to help us continue our life-changing work. Without their help, we wouldn't have the funds, resources and support needed to show up for our community. When you fundraise for Ovacome, you can make a direct impact. 

£117 could train five health professionals on how to recognise the signs of ovarian cancer and on patient support needs.

£336 could allow us to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer among 7200 people.

£992 could pay for 1 year of online support groups and workshops for someone diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Once you’ve selected Ovacome, you can create a title for your fundraiser and edit the description – perhaps it’s your Birthday coming up, and you’d like your friends to donate in place of gifts, or perhaps you’d like to explain Ovacome’s services and vital work to your friends to encourage them to donate?

Can my workplace match my fundraising?
add remove
It is always a brilliant idea to approach your workplace to see if they will match the funds raised, or match a percentage of your total funds. If you need any information from Ovacome to make this happen, please do get in touch. We can provide a letter of authorisation to show to your employers and send Ovacome's bank details over.
 
Match funding tends to take a couple of months to process, but it'd be helpful if you could let us know once your workplace has processed the donation so that we can look out for it at our end! 

Once we have received the matched funds, we'd be delighted to add this to your fundraising total. 

If you have any further questions about your specific workplace match funding, don't hesistate to get in touch.
