Sound Waves

Sound Waves is the official podcast of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that empowers young people aged 8-24 to embrace their future after cancer. When treatment ends, the Trust’s work begins as, for many young people, picking up where they left off before their diagnosis isn’t possible. On Sound Waves, the Trust community comes together to discuss themes and spark conversations relevant to anyone impacted by cancer in young people. From mental health to staying safe in the sun, from survivor's guilt to reflecting on where life has taken people since their diagnosis. All the while sharing tales from the Trust, and all the life-long memories made together. Come aboard!

Celebrating Volunteers' Week

June 01, 2020 • Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust • Season 1 • Episode 6

Without our volunteers, the Trust wouldn't be where it is today. They come from all over, bring an array of life experience to the role, and are at the heart of spreading that Trust magic.

Even though our 2020 looks very different to how we imagined, our volunteers are as important as always. We want to support them through this time as well as young people. The training they receive has moved online, delivered through webinars. Volunteers are a huge part of the programme of activities the Trust is delivering in 2020, both as hosts and participants.

Joining Scott this week are Alex, Rosa, and Bill, three volunteers who all came to be with the Trust in different ways. They tell us about their experiences and why it is they do what they do.

So join us in celebrating them, celebrating our volunteers, and celebrating Volunteers' Week!
