Ovacome is the only national UK charity to have been set up by people living with ovarian cancer.

For over 25 years, Ovacome has existed to meet the needs of those diagnosed and their loved ones, with the aim of reducing isolation, sharing information, promoting knowledge and supporting anyone affected by ovarian cancer.

Ovacome is a membership charity. Membership is open to anyone affected by ovarian cancer, including the relatives and friends of those diagnosed, as well as those at risk of ovarian cancer and healthcare professionals. 

Our members are at the heart of everything we do and help to ensure that our services are continually responding to the changing needs of those affected by the disease. You will be joining a friendly, supportive community of many thousands of people, all working together to promote knowledge and support others.

Ovacome membership is completely free.
