WOCS group - Worcestershire Ovarian Cancer Support

Making a difference to those who share a diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer

We are Worcestershire Ovarian Cancer Support - WOCS and this is our fundraising page.  Our group all share a diagnosis of ovarian cancer and meet regularly to offer each other support, understanding and friendship as we navigate life with this diagnosis. 

We are raising funds for Ovacome, the national UK charity focused on providing support and information to anyone affected by this disease. Ovacome is a strong community for those who have been diagnosed, those who think that they might be at risk, friends and family, and healthcare professionals. Our group was started by Ovacome and they continue to provide us with valuable support and information. 

Ovacome exists to reduce isolation, provide expert information, promote understanding of ovarian cancer and its symptoms, and to support those affected by it in their time of need.  

Ovacome’s specialist support team is there to help those living with ovarian cancer navigate their treatment, care and life beyond the disease through the charity’s telephone support line, email, and 24-hour forum. Ovacome also hosts online and in-person groups, workshops, and events where people affected can meet others in similar circumstances, share advice, make friends, and offer encouragement to one another in a safe environment.

Ovacome receives no government funding and so relies on its donors and fundraisers to make its life-changing work possible. Your generosity could help someone affected by ovarian cancer access the vital support and resources they need. Any amount you feel able to give could have a huge impact on the experience of someone facing a diagnosis.
