The annual Touch of Teal Tea with Ovacome is a fabulous celebration of our wonderful community, but also an important fundraising event that raises vital funds for Ovacome's life-changing services. Touch of Teal takes place on 13 September this year, in the middle of Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. Help us reach our all-important £75,000 fundraising target for the month and support the models in the lead-up to the big day!
