Top Fundraising Tips
Spread the word

Write a blog post for us
We’re always delighted to share your stories on our website. If you would like to write a blog post head to www.ovarian.org.uk/get-involved/share-your-story/

Tell your local newspaper
Getting your story in your local paper is a fantastic way to tell the world about your event and raise awareness of ovarian cancer. We’ve got lots of tips for getting your story published. If you need a helping hand please let let our fantastic Digital team know and they can support you. You can reach them at digital@ovarian.org.uk.
Set up your fundraising page
Create a fundraising page to make donating to your fundraiser as easy as possible! We suggest setting up a JustGiving page (link with https://www.justgiving.com/oca) - it's really easy to set up and share with your friends, family and work mates. Don't forget to personalise your page with a photo, details of your fundraiser and why it's important to you to raise money for Ovarian Cancer Action.
