About us
Who we are
We're the UK's leading ovarian cancer research charity, working on early detection, prevention and treatments so that no woman dies of ovarian cancer.
Who are we and what do we do?
Ovarian Cancer Action is a community of changemakers with one purpose: to give ovarian cancer the focus it needs to increase 10-year survival rates. And we know research is the solution.
We live and breathe this lifesaving, world-leading research. We fund more ovarian cancer research than any other UK gynaecological cancer charity. It’s how we’ve driven some of the biggest breakthroughs of the last 20 years.
From our research centre we've sparked life-changing discoveries across the globe. But there's much more to do. Our goal is to make sure by 2032 half of women live more than 10 years after diagnosis.
Our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion
We are committed to actively promoting equality, diversity and inclusivity and welcome enquiries and applications from underrepresented groups, including minoritised communities and applicants with disabilities.
