About a year ago, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust launched Bigger Impact, Brighter Futures - Our Ambitions 2023-2025. So, how are we doing?Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust CEO Frank Fletcher, Communications Manager Karenza, and Operations Manager in Largs James chat about the last 12 months, what progress has been made on the Ambitions, and what the future has in store. These Ambitions help us keep track of how we are doing so we can keep learning and improving.  Most importantly, they put inspiring young people to believe in a brighter future at the heart of everything we do.Read the accompanying blog here: https://www.ellenmacarthurcancertrust.org/news/ambitions-23-25-year1 

Since Hana was diagnosed with cancer, since she came sailing with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, life has been a whirlwind. On this episode of Sound Waves, she talks about her passion for environmentalism and how her diagnosis made her think of the Earth's ill health too. In the last few years, she has been a voice of youth at international conferences, including the COPs.She tells us about the challenges of being diagnosed during her studies, how stays in hospital gave her time to research the climate crisis, and how the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust spurred her on to do even more for the planet's future. 

At the end of a trip, some young people talk to us about their week. We ask them about their time with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, how it's helped, what they'll take with them. Their words are all over our website, our social media, Inspire magazine, and everything we do. The voices of young people are essential in telling the story of the Trust. They are the reason for everything we do. This episode is just a small snippet of summer 2023, about community and feeling understood. This is what it's all about. Thank you to: IzzyShaheedEmilyDylanOmarGabby & MufaroSamJoe & LukeVictoriaSophie & ShellAnd everyone who told us their story this year. See you in 2024!

You might have seen that Dame Ellen MacArthur, our patron and founder, recently met up with a young woman called Maxine, who was part of the first ever Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust sailing adventure 20 years ago in 2003. She was just 10 at the time, and now she's reunited with Ellen ahead of her 31st birthday.This episode, in celebration of the Trust's 20th anniversary, is their conversation.It's wonderful to hear Maxine talk about the impact of a sailing adventure 20 years ago and how it's shaped her life ever since. Ellen also shares how and why the Trust was set up in 2003, and where the inspiration for the charity came from.The things we can do to support young people living through and beyond cancer now, today, can change the years and decades ahead of them. As Ellen says in this conversation with Maxine, this is what it's all about. 

What we do and the difference we make aren't the same thing. Sailing is lovely, but at the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, we want young people to feel better at the end of their time with us than they did at the start. That's what impact is. Joining us in this episode are Omar and Jess. Omar came on his first four-day sailing adventure with the Trust last year, and he tells us about the impact he felt across that week and afterwards when he went back home. Jess has been with the Trust for some time, she was first supported 11 years ago, and has since become a volunteer and makes up part of the Trust's Youth Advisory Group. She has seen impact happen across years of supporting young people who have returned for multiple trips. Also joining us is Karenza, the Trust's communications manager. She has played a central role in making our 'Drive Impact' ambition come to life, and talks about how we plan on doing that to deliver better support for all young people. She also explains how our new impact dashboard works, which lets you see the impact we are having on young people in real time.  

This week we chat with Frank Fletcher who's been running the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust in East Cowes for 18 years. ‘A Londoner living on the Island' - he tells us how the Trust has gone from humble beginnings in Cowes to a UK-wide operation offering sailing trips to hundreds of young people who've been through treatment for cancer every year.

Time to take to the waters and catch up with visually impaired Sailor Emily Wright to find out what it was like competing in her first Blind Match Racing Championships in France. Emily first took up sailing through the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. With the support of the Trust Emily has gained her Royal Yachting Association Day Skipper certificate, competed in her first yacht race with Round the Island Race earlier this summer on board the trust's yacht Solent Hero with Ellen joining them for the race too and has now competed in her first Blind match Racing Championships with GBR Blind Sailing. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey caught up with Emily to find out how the blind Match Racing Championships went in France, how match racing differs from both yacht races like Round the Island Race and blind fleet racing. Emily explained to Toby how blind Match Racing works as unlike blind fleet racing where there is a mix of both visually impaired and sighted crew on board in match racing it is just the visually impaired sailors on board, using sounds on the boats and the marks marking the course, with match racing being one boat against another and a bit like playing chess on the water.  Emily talked about what she will take from her blind match racing experience to her racing with her sighted friends at University and to other up-coming blind racing championships too. If like Emily you would like to get into sailing and racing as a blind or partially sighted person then do visit the GBR Blind Sailing website where you will find out more about opportunities to get into sailing and race training- https://www.gbrblindsailing.co.uk For more about the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, visit the Trust's website- https://www.ellenmacarthurcancertrust.org (Image shows Emily's Team's yacht with two white sails up with the letters 'FRA' written on them in black. There are three people sat onboard, one of whom is facing towards the camera and smiling)

Time to take to the high seas again as we catch up with visually impaired sailor Emily Wright who took part in her first ever yacht race with the Round the Island Race on Saturday 25 June 2022 with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust on the Trust's yacht Solent Hero with Ellen MacArthur joining the crew for the race too.  RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey began by asking Emily what the build up was like for the Round the Island Race, the practice day, getting up early on Saturday morning to get to the start line and what it was like waiting for the gun to go off for the start of Emily's first Round the Island Race. Emily described to Toby what it was like after the start gun had gone off, tacking up to that iconic Isle of Wight landmark, the Needles, sailing round the Island and coming back to Cowes to the finish line with the spinnaker (kite) flying and Emily taking the helm too while the kite was up.  Emily also shared with Toby how inspiring it was to have Ellen join the crew of Solent Hero for the Round the Island Race 2022 passing on some good sailing tips and tricks to her and the rest of the crew of Solent Hero from some of the many races that Ellen has taken part in over the years. Watch this space as it won't be long before we hear more from Emily and maybe news about her first medal winning yacht race too!

Emily has not only completed her RYA Day Skipper certificate, notching up many nautical  miles with the trust but Emily will be racing round the Isle of Wight on Saturday 25 June with the Trust for the annual Round the Island Yacht Race 2022. Emily also has her sights set on representing Great Britain in blind sailing championships having recently started training with GBR Blind Sailing. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey who has done a bit of sailing himself caught up with Emily to find out how she is feeling about taking part in her first Round the Island Race with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and how the recent training has been going with GBR Blind Sailing.   Emily began by telling Toby how she first heard of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and how Ellen's story of coming 2nd in the single-handed Vendée Globe round the world yacht race at the age of 24 shows young people that they can achieve their goals and reach their dreams no matter what life throws at them with the support of the trust too.  Emily then gave Toby an insight into what is involved in studying for and completing her Royal Yachting Association Day Skipper Certificate and how the trust were there to support and help Emily in the preparation for her day skipper theory and practical courses. Toby then asked Emily how she was feeling about taking part with the trust in her first Round the Island Yacht Race on Saturday 25 June 2022 and how the preparations had been going before then asking Emily about her recent training with GBR Blind Sailing with her sights on representing Great Britain at international and world Blind Fleet and Match Racing Sailing championships.

“The partnership puts young people at the centre and not brand … we should all be working together to achieve Mission, rather than brand awareness or the size of our turnover or how many staff we employ.” Frank Fletcher is CEO of The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. The Trust supports young people with cancer, engaging them in outdoor activities, to help re-build their confidence and their lives, after cancer. We talk about how the Trust pivoted to a Virtual Summer during 2020 and what it has learnt during the pandemic in order to better support young people recovering from cancer. We discuss the Trust's newly formed partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust and CLIC Sargent (now Young Lives vs Cancer) - a fantastic example of leaving brand differences at the door to truly focus on what is best for young people. Frank shares his learnings on establishing this formal partnership and strongly encourages other charity leaders to follow suit. Recorded May 2021.
