In this deeply moving episode of Beyond the Barclay, we sit down with Amanda Sheehy, mother of Amber and co-founder of Amber’s Army — a Norfolk-based family charity born from love, loss, and resilience. Amber’s Army was created in 2023 by Amanda and Jon Sheehy in memory of their daughter, Amber, who courageously fought a brain tumour and passed away aged eight . The charity’s mission is simple yet powerful: “Create Rainbows in the Darkest of Days” for Norfolk families caring for a child with a terminal cancer diagnosis . In this episode, Amanda shares: • Amber’s journey and the inspiration behind founding Amber’s Army • How the charity supports entire families — not just the unwell child — by crafting cherished, emotion-filled experiences • The heartfelt ways families are referred (through hospitals or self-referral) and supported through memory-making and emotional backing • A glimpse ahead to the Amber’s Army Allstars legends match at Dereham Town on 31st August — a key fundraiser and celebration of community spirit and legacy This isn’t a wish list charity — it’s about making the small, love-filled moments count when it matters most.
