Announcing our Charity for 2026

At Perry & Phillips Funeral Directors, supporting the community has always been at the heart of the service we provide. Each year the team chooses a charity that carries particular meaning to them, and for 2026 they will be supporting Ovacome - The Ovarian Cancer Support Charity.

This cause is deeply personal to the Adams family.

John and Katie lost their mother, Maria, to ovarian cancer when she was just 39 years old. Losing a parent at such a young age leaves a lasting impact, and it is one of the reasons why the work of charities like Ovacome is so important to the family and the wider team at Perry & Phillips.

Ovacome provides free, life-changing support and information to those affected by ovarian cancer, including patients, families and friends. Their services include support lines, support groups, wellbeing events, workshops, and more than 50 information booklets to help people better understand the illness and the support available to them. Importantly, Ovacome receives no government funding, relying entirely on grants and donations.

Every year in the UK, over 7,500 people are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and 1 in 56 women will be diagnosed during their lifetime. Raising awareness of the symptoms is therefore vital.

Ovacome uses the B.E.A.T. acronym to help people recognise potential symptoms:

B – Bloating that doesn’t come and go
E – Eating difficulties or feeling full more quickly
A – Abdominal or pelvic pain felt most days
T – Toilet changes in urination or bowel habits

Anyone experiencing new or persistent symptoms that are not going away should seek advice from their GP.

Throughout 2026, Perry & Phillips Funeral Directors will be supporting Ovacome through a number of initiatives aimed at raising awareness and helping ensure that individuals and families affected by ovarian cancer receive the support they need.

For the Adams family, this support is also about remembering Maria, and helping to ensure that others facing this illness never feel alone.

You can learn more about the activities that will be taken place at Perry & Phillips here and also make a donation to the charity if you wish: https://www.perryandphillipsfunerals.com/community-support/donate-to-our-charity/

Join us in supporting Ovacome, the ovarian cancer charity. Your donation helps provide essential support and raise awareness for those in need.
