September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Our CEO, David Holdsworth, visited Cardiff-based @LATCHWales today, to learn about the charity’s work supporting children receiving treatment and their families.

What a way to end the week! 🔔🎉

Yesterday, Darcy rang the End of Treatment Bell with her family.

Her mum said, "Hayley, has been absolutely fantastic… Always there for us, even just for a little chat when we needed it most.”

Good to hear this development today for children and young people with cancer in England. UK Gvt recognising the unique impacts and experiences of cancer in this age group. Let’s see the same commitment from @WelshGovernment in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #WorldCancerDay2025 @WalesCancer @LATCHWales @cclguk @YLvsCancer

📢Breaking news on #WorldCancerDay: The UK Government has announced that children and young people will be included in the upcoming Cancer Plan for England.

@RachelKirbyR and @ashleysgamble @CCLGuk share our joint response to today's news https://t.co/W3mE3Nuf31

[Young Lives vs Cancer @YLvsCancer]

This #WorldCancerDay, we’re proud to reveal our updated storybooks for children with cancer: https://t.co/28CIgmWMg9

Follow Ava, Charlie, Luca and Zarah as they learn about cancer, have treatment, and adjust to life after diagnosis.

We first produced these storybooks 20 years ago to help children understand what happens after a cancer diagnosis. Today, thanks to feedback from children, parents, carers, specialist social workers and health professionals, we’ve updated our storybooks to be more representative of the families we support.

They'll be given to families by our specialist social workers, and can also be ordered for free on our website: https://t.co/28CIgmWMg9

Please share this post so that more health professionals can access this resource. ❤

Important coverage @BBCWalesNews @WCVACymru @tenovuscancer @judirhys of this critical issue that will have a profound impact not only on the voluntary sector but on the public sector and public services if UK and Welsh Governments don’t listen and take action.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Baroness Jenny Randerson.

A passionate advocate for education, Jenny was a governor at our University. Her career was marked by her dedication to education and equality. We honour her memory and her remarkable achievements.

[Donna Hall @ProfDonnaHall]

2028 is too long to wait for social care reform. It’s on its knees. The national insurance increase = the last straw for many outsourced services. This announcement fails to mention the biggest issue: paying workers a decent salary like NHS care assistants https://t.co/tavTDTmJy2
