Disappointed @easyJet. The flight from Luton to Fago for training on 30th was cancelled. @easyJet failed to re-route the children to their trampoline camp within 48 hrs. Surely there is an alternative flight somewhere sooner? #easyjet #FlightCancelled #PassengerRights #CAA

Our cancer charities are united on the ask for resources to meet the need of the population we care for 👇
In 2024, 74,000 cancer patients in England didn’t start their treatment on time - enough people to fill Old Trafford Stadium. Today we’re speaking with #OneCancerVoice to call on the UK Government to fully fund its National Cancer Plan, so patients can get the care they deserve.

Behind every cancer diagnosis is a unique human story. People-centred care means seeing the whole person and meeting their unique needs with compassion and empathy. #UnitedByUnique @worldcancerday
