Great to spend the day with these guys exploring how we can best work together to build a better future for children and young people with cancer.

Feeling good that today I gave my 3rd blood donation 🙌🏽

I got well looked after, had a nice chat with the nurses, had a chance to sit down and got access to all the snacks!

1 hour out of your day can make a big difference. To find out how to become a donor go to: www.blood.co.uk

Absolutely loved spending time with this lovely lot alongside @younglivesvscancer.bsky.social colleagues today.
Our Voice Board share their experiences to shape our organisational decision making - I learn so much every time I see them!
Thank you Voice Board for an excellent, energising day!

Managed a post school-run meander on Hengistbury Head before the rain kicked and caught up on @thirdsector.co.uk podcast 🧡
