Trusts and Foundations

ZCT and Ovacome

Zurich Community Trust have been supporting Ovacome since 2017, and since then, have funded many of our services and projects, including our work in Croydon, our Survivors Teaching Students programme, and our support service.

Their support has allowed our service provision to grow and develop in line with our communities’ needs. 

Ovacome Support Services, supported by the Marsh Charitable Trust

The Marsh Charitable Trust has been kindly supporting our ovarian cancer Support Services since 2017.  Our Support Service programme embodies our Support Line, Staying Connected programme of online workshops, webinars and support groups, and our Health and Wellbeing Events.

Their steadfast support means we can continue this integral service, supporting anyone affected by ovarian cancer.

Patient Experience in Practice, supported by the Hospital Saturday Fund

We are dedicated to raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer amongst medical and healthcare professionals, to aid earlier diagnosis and result in better treatment options. To do this, we run a programme called Patient Experience in Practice which aims to highlight the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer to medical students, and the experiences of those from underserved communities to medical professionals working in gynae-oncology. This project has been generously supported by the Hospital Saturday Fund, who have funded this programme for 1 year. 

Newcastle Health and Wellbeing Day, supported by The Sir James Knott Trust

The Sir James Knott Trust has supported Ovacome with a multi-year grant so we can deliver Health and Wellbeing Days in Newcastle for the next 3 years. These events will provide much needed support and information to people in Newcastle, and the North East who have been affected by ovarian cancer and will help us embed ourselves in this region to continue supporting those who need us, now and in the future. This would not be possible without their generous contribution, and we are grateful that they have chosen to support our vital work for the next 3 years.

Ovacome Support Services, supported by the Card Factory Foundation

We are delighted that the Card Factory Foundation has awarded Ovacome a grant towards the costs of our comprehensive Support Service. This project embodies our Support Line, Staying Connected programme of online workshops, webinars and support groups, and our Health and Wellbeing Events, and is our core service. The vital support of the Foundation means we can continue this integral service, supporting anyone affected by ovarian cancer, when they need it most. Thank you so much!
