Finding support
Tuesday 10 September, 2pm–3pm
For anyone affected by ovarian cancer, including friends and family
Led by the Supportive Services Team at Target Ovarian Cancer
For anyone affected by ovarian cancer, accessing practical and emotional support helps you to be informed, ask questions and make decisions that are right for you. It can also improve wellbeing, by allowing you to connect with others who understand what you are going through. There are lots of different ways for you to get the support you need, when you need it. Whether you’ve had a diagnosis yourself, are supporting a loved one with a diagnosis, or are worried about symptoms of ovarian cancer, we’re here for you.
Join us live on Tuesday 10 September to hear from our Supportive Services Team at Target Ovarian Cancer who will share more about the support available to you, such as our nurse-led support line, online community, digital events and information resources. Find out more about the information and support available to help improve your wellbeing when affected by ovarian cancer.

Weekly yoga and relaxation sessions
Every Wednesday, 2pm–3pm
For anyone with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer
Led by Claire Brett-Pitt, qualified British Wheel of Yoga Teacher
Yoga is a natural way to boost wellbeing as it helps you to relax, cope with stress and anxiety, and get some gentle exercise. Staying active can help with side effects such as fatigue and improve your emotional wellbeing, an important part of life for everyone affected by ovarian cancer.
Our instructor has experience in leading sessions for people with cancer, so will guide you safely. You can do it seated or standing – whatever feels right for you.
This session is free but you'll need to register in advance.
Tea and chat: for those with a diagnosis
Every other Tuesday, 2pm–3pm
For anyone with a diagnosis of ovarian cancer
An informal session owned by you, Tea and chat is a casual, social session over Zoom for a small group to meet over a cuppa, joined by one of our Nurse Advisers. We like to keep tea and chat fun, light and informal, so each session is themed, giving you the opportunity to have a good chat together. The sessions are not for medical advice or discussions, sometimes we don’t even mention ovarian cancer.
You can join us a little late, just pop in during your lunch break or leave early if you need to. Whatever works best for you. If you don’t feel like chatting, you can always just listen along and escape with us for a while.
To sign up, you need to be a member of our In Touch Facebook group, exclusively for anyone with a diagnosis. Join In Touch now to connect with others who know what you’re going through. You can chat, share hints and tips and sign up to our tea and chat sessions together in a community that is here for you. To let us know you’d like to join, comment on the sign-up post that is added to the group the week before. You’ll be able to find this pinned at the top of the group.
