Regional Ovarian Cancer Coordinators

partnershipOvacome has a network of volunteers who represent the charity at local and regional level.

These are our Regional Ovarian Cancer Coordinators who take our information into GP surgeries and hospital clinics, make contact with local health professionals, talk about ovarian cancer to local groups, support fundraising and help to run our Fone Friends service.

The ROCCs give their time to help Ovacome alongside The Eve Appeal, a charity that raises funds for research into ovarian cancer, in a special partnership that benefits everyone. The project is funded by Boots.

We are aiming to have 50 ROCCs who will cover the UK and so far we have 39 in the following counties:

It is very helpful simply to offer to distribute information to your nearby doctors' surgeries. Or you could invite your local ROCC to a local group you know, like the Women's Institute or social club.

You can get in touch with them and find out how best to support their work by calling Ruth Grigg, Regional Volunteer Manager on 020 7299 6653 or email ruth@evewithovacome.org.uk
