WOMEN CENTRED SUPPORT

A cancer diagnosis is hugely impactful on women's lives, affecting not only daily health, but also fertility, sexuality, menopause and relationships. For any of us facing one of these cancers, there is often a sense of embarrassment and a loss of autonomy over our lives and bodies. GRACE is here to support all women with gynaecological cancers in Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond.

We are running a series of Enrichment events that connect women who may share similar lived experiences, while at the same time taking part in an interesting, fun and informative event.

Outlined below are the events GRACE are running in 2024.

As some events are very limited on places, we are asking attendees to make a £5 deposit to secure their place and we will contact you about this once we’re in receipt of your booking.

COMMITTED TO A BETTER FUTURE FOR WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH GYNAECOLOGICAL CANCER

GRACE (Gynae-Oncology Research and Clinical Excellence)

GRACE supports women living with gynaecological cancers across Surrey, West Sussex, and Hampshire.

Our focus is on raising vital awareness to promote early diagnosis of the five gynaecological cancers; fund desperately needed research into their causes and treatments; provide local hospitals with vital surgical equipment; and to offer and facilitate peer support to women who are diagnosed.

The work undertaken by GRACE is plugging a gap for a desperately neglected area of cancer research. Every year one million women worldwide are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer – such as cervical or ovarian. They account for 10% of all cancers. In the UK alone, 18,000 women are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer every year.

GRACE is dedicated to research which will improve the treatment, recovery, and survival rates of women diagnosed in the future and are currently involved in several projects). These findings feed into the wider UK cancer network, helping to influence and shape the diagnosis and treatment of these women, both now and in the future.

To get involved or find out more about the support and services we offer, email: info@grace-charity.org.uk or call 01483 904153.

We now know our response to Covid-19 will last much longer than any of us thought. But women are still being diagnosed and treated for gynaecological cancer every day. We want to be there to help those women around us – our mums, sisters, grandmothers, daughters and friends. With your support for us, we can still be there for them.
