Episode 63 - Getting involved

MP3•Episode home

In this episode, we'll hear from four of our much-valued Involvement Champions : Rebecca, Oriana, Claire and Mark.

We recorded their presentations to the whole organisation as they explained why they wanted to become key voices in the brain tumour community. (Trigger warning, they talk about diagnosis and mental health issues, and their stories are very moving.)

Then our host Anna Blyszko - a former Young Ambassador herself - quizzes The Brain Tumour Charity’s Involvement Manager, Rachel Roberts, about what exactly our Involvement Network aims to achieve and why we've launched a new initiative called The Listening Project.

If you're interested in becoming an Involvement Champion, recruitment for the next cohort begins in late summer 2025. You can find out more here.
