Role within the CYP Alliance

As a Project Coordinator for Palliative and End of Life Care, my role within the CYP Alliance is to bring people together, ensuring that professionals and organisations work collaboratively to provide the best possible care for children, young people, and their families.

Why does it matter?

Palliative and end-of-life care goes beyond managing symptoms - it’s about ensuring that every child, young person, and their family receive care that is rooted in dignity, compassion, and respect, with their wishes at the heart of every decision. It matters because every family deserves unwavering support during one of life’s most challenging journeys - from emotional and practical assistance to the opportunity to create precious, lasting memories together.

My impact?

My work helps to bridge gaps, enhance communication, and strengthen systems to ensure that children and young people receive care that is truly tailored to their needs and wishes. Whether it’s through driving service improvements, supporting professionals, or developing valuable resources, I am dedicated to ensuring that both the professionals delivering care and the families receiving it feel supported and confident in the services available to them. 

Something a bit different?

At the moment, life is a mix of soft play adventures, messy hands covered in glue and paint, and wandering garden centres with a hot coffee on my day off in search of the next plant I probably don’t need but can’t resist. Creativity and curiosity are a big part of who I am, and I like to think I bring that same energy into my role - thinking outside the box and encouraging open conversations about end-of-life care.
