Ovarian Cancer Voices -
share your experience of ovarian cancer
If we’re going to improve women’s chances of surviving ovarian cancer we need to raise the profile of the disease and its symptoms.
Ovarian Cancer Voices provides a platform for people affected by ovarian cancer to share their experiences with others.
Whether you have a personal experience of ovarian cancer that you’d like to share, or you know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease – please get in touch! Your real-life story could help our work and offer support to other people in the same situation.
To find out more about becoming an Ovarian Cancer Voice, telephone Dr Sarah Blacklidge on 0300 4564707 or email voices@ovarian.org.uk.

Donating professional time and expertise
Professional fees can be hugely expensive. One of the ways we are able to keep costs down, and spending on research high, is through the help of professionals.
We are always keen to hear from people who might be able to assist us with legal advice, PR, design or medical or nursing expertise.
Please contact the office on 020 8238 7605 or email info@ovarian.org.uk
Become an ambassador for the charity
This could mean a range of things -
-
Undertaking a programme of awareness raising events.
-
Getting others involved.
-
Spreading awareness of the charity and its work.
For example:
Nigel Havers has presented two Radio 4 Appeals for the charity.
Emilia Fox lent her support to the Remember the Symptoms national awareness campaign.
-
Sir Digby Jones, Chairman of the CBI, has worked hard to involve leading female business directors in our work.
-
Lawyer and government advisor Professor Richard Susskind asks for donations to the charity in lieu of after dinner or conference speaking fees, and is encouraging others to do likewise. He also ensures our name and details are included at such events.
Distribute awareness leaflets
Can you persuade your local surgery or pharmacy to take some leaflets and a poster for the month of March, or even better throughout the year?
Perhaps you work in a large organisation that has an occupational health team?
We're happy to supply posters and leaflets wherever they could be used. Please email sblacklidge@ovarian.org.uk or call 0300 456 4700.
