The Trust, Young Lives vs Cancer, Teenage Cancer Trust - the power of partnership Artwork

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!

The Trust, Young Lives vs Cancer, Teenage Cancer Trust - the power of partnership

December 13, 2021 • Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust • Season 7 • Episode 5

The Trust isn’t the only charity out there providing support to young people living through and beyond cancer, and that can only be a good thing. Young people benefit when we work together to provide what they need. That’s the thinking behind the official three way partnership between ourselves, Teenage Cancer Trust, and Young Lives vs Cancer.

Joining us this week are Laura Rohdich from Young Lives vs Cancer and Julie Gonzalez from Teenage Cancer Trust. They work directly with young people, they’ve come out with the Trust, and we talk about the benefits of working together.

We're also joined by Jess Beedle, who’s a part of the Trust’s youth board and a graduate volunteer, and she’s been supported by all three charities.

This is just a very small part of a huge amount of teamwork and support that’s going on, but hopefully this episode gives a bit of an introduction to how things are coming together.
