Have just finished this thought provoking book by @aitchisonwrites for #TYANextChapter #BookClub Can’t wait to talk about it next week and how coping with loss can be like a “favourite mug that had smashed and been lovingly glued back together, now used as a pen pot”

Its #CarersWeek & thanks to @UHBCharity @TeenageCancer .& @AldiUK we have been able to give care packages to parents and loved ones of TYA in patients @uhbtrust all week. This small gesture means a lot and hopefully serves as a reminder that “You can’t pour from an empty cup”

To any YA authors out there….I am wondering if anyone would be interested in offering a unique opportunity for a TYA to name a character in your next book? Please get in touch if you think you could help 🤩 #LoveReading #TYANextChapter

Thanks to the Children’s Healing & Therapies Support (CHATS) team @brumshospice for a fab day learning to make hand casts- such a personalised course where I got to make a cast of my hand and gained insight on conversations to have with people while making a priceless piece ❤️
