Please check out ‘Survivorship’, the first edition of our new blog series!

Sophie Byrom has been volunteering since December 2021, working with us to ensure that the concerns and priorities for young people with a cancer diagnosis are fully considered throughout the services and information provided at Flynne’s Barn. This has included reviewing the website and giving feedback to help make it relevant and inviting for young people, and reviewing our counselling documents to make sure the service is as accessible as possible, bearing in mind the stigma that exists around mental health. In this blog series she will be posting on varied aspects of the cancer experience. Sophie also designs the artwork and infographics accompanying her writing!

‘Survivorship’ explores the complexities of reaching remission status, touching on the need for wider awareness of what survival really entails.

Blog posts will appear in the 'News' section on our website. Link in bio 🌵🏜️💚

Just spotted this drinker moth caterpillar on a mission in the wet grassland. It was as big as my index finger- stunning! Leaving wild habitat is so crucial for biodiversity and vital for our well being too. It’s magical to see such creatures🐛🐛🐛

What a fantastic few days we’ve had with Harry, Leo, Andy and their air cadet troupers. These incredible youngsters got out in the Borrowdale rain planting trees, moving stone, sowing crab apple seeds, creating art, canoeing and generally having an all round fab time. The power of friendship is a wonderful thing to help us through tough times💚 A big shout out to David Jackson for the delicious food. @oakcottagechef
