Dear parents and carers,

I am pleased to let you know about a newly developed platform from WellChild that makes it easier for families to find local support for children with complex medical or additional needs.

The platform allows you to:

• Search for local services and facilities using your postcode
• Filter results to meet your child’s specific accessibility requirements
• Discover activities, services, and support that are right for your family
It’s a free, easy-to-use tool designed to save you time and reduce stress when looking for the right support.

Check it out here: www.wellchild.org.uk/in-your-area

Also, please see the poster below with QR code.

We are inviting carers to take part in a short survey to help shape a new information and support resource for:
• Carers who care for someone living with or beyond cancer
• Carers with cancer

The project is funded through the Cancer Related Health Inequalities Grant, coordinated by the Lincolnshire Voluntary Engagement Team (LVET).

We will create a practical resource to help carers access the information and support they need at the most appropriate time.
By completing the survey, carers can help us understand:
• What information and support carers currently receive
• What information has been most useful
• How information could be improved, including the content, format, timing, or how it is shared.

Responses will directly inform the development of the resource, ensuring it provides clear, practical and timely guidance for carers.

The survey also includes an option to be more involved in the project through case studies and feedback.
Complete the survey here:
https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/JDD50C/

All responses are anonymous and personal information is never included in our reports. Our privacy notice is available on our website.

If you support carers and their loved ones living with cancer or a cancer diagnosis, share this short survey with your networks so that together we can ensure that carers have the information and support when they need it.

Please take a few minutes to take our survey.

Grief and Loss Support for Children and Young People

We recognise that grief and loss for anyone can be a distressing time and can feel intense and difficult. These are natural reactions, and for most people they ease over time with support from family, friends and wider networks.

There are lots of organisations and resources both locally and nationally that can support people through this difficult period, helping people to understand and process grief and loss and what they can do to self-care or support someone else. Please click on the link below for more information.

NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has launched a new survey to hear from people who use Stoma, Bowel, Transanal Irrigation (TAI) or catheter products, along with their carers, about their experiences and what could be improved. We are asking for your support in promoting this important opportunity to the people and communities you work with.

The survey aims to understand what is working well, what could be improved, and how services can be shaped to better meet local needs. The feedback collected will support the ICB’s review of how Stoma, Bowel, TAI and Catheter care products and services are provided across Lincolnshire.

How to take part

Patients, carers and anyone who uses these services are invited to complete the survey online:

- Understand current awareness levels of ovarian cancer and its symptoms

- Identify knowledge gaps across our communities

- Shape clear, impactful messages that are meaningful
