OvaCare is an ovarian cancer charity that provides support and advocacy for patients and families impacted by ovarian cancer. OvaCare organises an annual patient day where expert speakers address important issues from new treatments to quality-of-life issues.
In addition, we host monthly coffee and chat mornings for members. These have been a real success and have helped form a support community for many women.
OvaCare has run these as hybrid events in different venues around the country. These are free events and give patients an opportunity to meet and swap stories over a nice cup of coffee. Our community tell us these are an important and invaluable support for them.
For 2026 we are planning on getting expert speakers to talk or run a workshop at the start of the coffee and chat event, to address topics identified by our members. This can range from psychological support to research talks.
The additional funding will cover costs of speakers and will also facilitate a travel bursary for patients to attend the event in person at venues around the country.
