In our latest blog, Mallika Fonseca - GP trainee and CGHP NHS East of England Global Health Fellow 2026, reflects on her experience strengthening palliative care through the Uttarakhand–Cambridge Health Partnership, and the vital learnings this work brings to the NHS.

Mallika explores why supporting people through the end of their lives truly takes a village, and how health partnership and reciprocal learning between healthcare workers can empower families and communities.

This partnership work was supported by CGHP, RAMA Foundation and NHS East of England.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall at the Thriplow Daffodil Weekend & Country Fair, asked questions, showed interest, and offered their support.

We’re incredibly grateful to the Thriplow Daffodil Weekend organisers and the many dedicated volunteers who make this special weekend possible year after year. It was an honour to be chosen as one of the nominated charities.

Thank you also to our members and supporters who helped on the day and behind the scenes and those who generously sponsored gifts for our treasure hunt activity.

As Paul Earnshaw so rightly shared in his BBC interview, the daffodils coming through are a sign of hope. That spirit of hope is central to global health partnerships too — improving healthcare, strengthening health systems, and creating healthier futures for communities around the world.
