Empower Hour: Get Involved Edition
Tuesday 23 April, 2pm–3pm
For anyone affected by ovarian cancer, including family and friends
Led by a panel of women affected by ovarian cancer and Target Ovarian Cancer's Becky Wilson and Gina Almeida
Following the success of last year’s event, we’re running our second Empower Hour! Empower Hour shines a spotlight on our supporters and showcases the ways that you can get involved with raising awareness and supporting others affected by ovarian cancer. Join us to hear from three women living with ovarian cancer, about their experiences and the different ways they got involved with Target Ovarian Cancer.
Whether it’s getting support from members of our online community, connecting with others and raising awareness through fundraising, or volunteering with us, hear from Target Ovarian Cancer for more information on how you can get involved in a way that feels right for you. Together we can target what’s important to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives.
Join us live to hear from our panel of women and connect with others affected by ovarian cancer. You’ll also have the chance to put your questions to the Target Ovarian Cancer team. Whether you leave feeling passionate about taking action or inspired hearing about other people’s experiences of ovarian cancer, our hope is that you’ll come away from this interactive hour, feeling encouraged and empowered.
This event is free, but you will need to register to receive information on how to join the session.
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.
