From our work
Writing on what we have learned from working alongside people affected by cancer in Solihull.
On what happens after a cancer diagnosis, and the vocabulary nobody asked for
There is a particular language that arrives in the days after a cancer diagnosis. The people using it mean well. It is also, often, the wrong language.
On the case for sitting in a room with other people who already know
Cancer charities and patient communities keep coming back to a quiet truth: people need somewhere they do not have to do this alone.
On Thursdays, presence, and a quiet kind of community infrastructure
Almost nothing of real depth in human life is built through intensity. Healing, belonging, recovery, any quiet kind of becoming — they look more like turning up to the same room, on the same day, over and over.
