We’re excited to announce that we’ve been awarded funding from The National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF) to develop our new England wide peer support service for women with ovarian cancer. We're very grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund for their extremely generous three-year grant.
About the project
Peer support happens when those with similar long-term conditions, or health experiences, come together to support each other – either on a one-to-one or group basis.
With this funding, we aim to reach and support more women living with ovarian cancer across England. The funding will help us build a strong network of peer support, empowering women to connect, share experiences, and reduce the isolation that so many feel after a diagnosis.
Over the three-year grant, we hope to increase opportunities for both in-person and virtual peer support and fill an important gap in support available.

- Why is this project only being set up in England?
The funding we have received from the National lottery community fund is provided to develop the service in England only. This funding allows us to develop and evaluate the service with the aim of rolling out the service across the UK in the future.
