At Target Ovarian Cancer, we target what’s important to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives.

We give trusted information, to help people ask questions and make decisions that are right for

them. We connect people with shared experiences, and we support families every step of the
way.

We stand together as a powerful community for everyone facing ovarian cancer across the UK,
sharing stories and raising voices, to make sure that ovarian cancer becomes a health priority.

We know that early diagnosis saves lives, so we work closely with GPs who are at the heart of
this, to help them diagnose ovarian cancer faster and earlier – giving everyone the best chance
of living.

And our investment in research to find new, better and more targeted treatments means that
everyone can live with hope for their future.

We’re fighting for a world where everyone with ovarian cancer lives, and we’re targeting
what’s important - symptoms awareness, early diagnosis, better treatments and

support for all.

I was made to feel so welcome by everyone at Target Ovarian Cancer
from my very first day, and that support has definitely continued.
The hybrid working model works well, but there are still plenty of great
opportunities for us all to meet in person. Everyone has a really strong
understanding and passion for our work and what we’re here to
achieve, and it’s fantastic to be a part of that.”
