Ovarian Cancer Action is a charity based in the United Kingdom that funds scientific research both nationally and internationally. Nationally, the organisation funds the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre, based in the Institute of Reproductive and Developmental Biology (IRDB) on the Hammersmith Campus, and is one of the largest clusters of ovarian cancer research in Europe.[1][2] International funding is made available through competitive research funding calls.
The charity also promotes public awareness of ovarian cancer.[3][4][5] On 8 May 2019 the charity carried out a symptoms awareness campaign for World Ovarian Cancer Day, which saw volunteers distributing 33,000 white roses with symptoms tags attached in locations throughout the United Kingdom.[6] Cross-party MPs, including Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, also wore a white rose to PMQs to show their support for the campaign.[7]
The charity's headquarters are located in London. The Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre is located at Hammersmith Hospital, London.[8] The organisation is funded through donations and fundraising events.[9]
