💚 Last Friday, Emma, one of our 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝘁𝘀 Facilitators, joined The Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust at their Christmas Ball. This was a particularly special event as it was celebrating 10 years of their incredible work supporting cancer patients and their families across the North East.

Emma had the pleasure to be sat with Mark, Team Solan’s CEO; Kevin Ball, former Sunderland player, captain, and coach; and BBC Tees radio presenter, Gary Philipson.

What was wonderful to see at the celebration was that there were over 30 ‘warriors’ attending – what Mark calls his cancer patients. Many of the warriors have also either been previously supported by us, or we continue to support them. This proves how much of a difference we make by working together with local charities for continued support.

The event was supported by lots of local businesses, raising awareness and funds on the night. Overall, though, the goal was celebration. They did just that with some great entertainment.

Here’s a message from Emma on the night:

“I feel very fortunate and proud to be invited to this event, and to see those clients we have supported having made great support networks, new friendships, and overall having a great time. It was just amazing.”

💙 Alan, a new addition to the 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 (WBFL) team, completed his first week with the service last Friday. We thought we’d share how it’s gone.

"A fabulous end to my first week with WBFL. I joined Alastair, Leigh, Andrea and Lesley at The Leanne Kennedy Centre for the East Durham Veterans club. Lots of great conversations and a free lunch! I met Margaret… a genuine angel. She has fostered four children and is still young at 82. It was a real privilege to hear her story and meet her daughter, Emma. Great to see the 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱 in action and see Andrea’s unmentionable visual aids haha. I can’t wait to go back."

We love to see a new team member dive right into the action. This is a wonderful example of our services working in partnership to make a difference.
