How can Target Ovarian Cancer support you?
Our support courses and materials
We want to ensure that women living with, and beyond, ovarian cancer have access to good quality emotional and practical support. Our range of courses and materials support the valuable work of Clinical Nurse Specialists and local support centres.
Our work is free of charge and available throughout the UK.

Our courses:
A positive, informal day event. Our Being Together days bring together women affected by ovarian cancer in their local area. Each event is a great opportunity to learn more about us, meet other women with ovarian cancer and take part in activities which usually include relaxation workshops, tips on raising symptoms awareness and making the most of me time: share ideas about how to get the most out of life. Recent days have taken place in Newcastle and Perth, Scotland and we are in the middle of planning the new programme now.
If you would like to receive more information or attend one of our future events please e-mail Karin or call 0207 923 5475.
