Working with us

A flat, family-feel team

We're a small charity with a community-organising heart. We work in close partnership across roles - trustees alongside staff, staff alongside volunteers, all alongside the families we exist for.

  • Safeguarding-led

    Every team member trained in our safeguarding policy and culture.

  • Lived experience welcome

    Many of our team and volunteers have been touched by cancer.

  • Inclusive by design

    We actively welcome people from BAME and underrepresented backgrounds.

  • Learning culture

    Quarterly training, supervision and reflective practice for every role.
