Who are OCF?

The Oesophageal Cancer Fund is the national charity for Oesophageal Cancer in Ireland. Bringing the good fight to a bad cancer. We are passionately committed to the eradication of this disease; until that happens we will help those affected live full, long lives.

OCF is made up of a small, dedicated core team, but we are also an army of thousands. OCF is the volunteers, donors, supporters, researchers, medical professionals, patients and survivors. Who together give time, energy and money to help you, or your loved one, live well with this bad cancer.

We are the Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF), and we are by your side.
