As we head toward BBC Children in Need @BBCCiN in Need this Friday, we are proud to be working closely with their team to amplify our message for National Grief Awareness Week 2026.
Our theme for this December is inspired by Tom Fletcher’s wonderful book, 'Pudsey and the Thread of Hope' and song written in partnership with BBC Children In Need which aims to make conversations about grief feel more natural, compassionate and accessible to everyone.
Pudsey and the Thread of Hope, follows Jai, a young boy navigating grief after the loss of his father, as he embarks on a journey of healing, hope and adventure with Pudsey. Along the way, they meet other children connected by a golden thread of kindness and empowerment, discovering the transformative power of friendship, courage and love.
We are creating new schools posters, in collaboration, to help raise awareness of this powerful story, signpost to our charity for support and look forward to sharing updates very soon!

Almost 1 in 3 people with #lungcancer in England are diagnosed after an emergency admission. That's 30.2%.
Lung cancer can affect anyone with lungs, including people who have never smoked. If you have symptoms that don't go away, speak to your GP.

#Lungcancer at 42. 13 years and 80+ rounds of chemo later, Graeme is back on skis & has just bought his first campervan.
Now the targeted treatment that kept him well has been withdrawn, & he's hoping for a place on a clinical trial.

I'm incredibly grateful to be alive still+so pleased to be taking part in this All You Need is Lung's Campaign again this year. Raising awareness to the realities of living with #lungcancer Thinking of those who have very sadly died. No one is forgotten. #LungCancerAwarenessMonth
#Lungcancer can look like this.
Lung Cancer Awareness Month starts today, and All You Need Is Lungs is back for its 4th year.
Since 2023, our volunteers have shared their stories to show the real faces of lung cancer. This year we've caught up with them to hear what's happened since: treatment, scans and setbacks, plus family news, milestones, adventures and plenty of everyday life in between.
Sadly, not everyone is still with us. We remember the volunteers we've lost along the way, and we're so grateful to their families for letting their stories keep helping others.
To every one of our voices, past and present: thank you. You've shown thousands of people that lung cancer doesn't look a certain way.

60 years after the Aberfan disaster, Viv Jones recalls the moment he realised his brother had died after coal waste engulfed Pantglas Junior School
116 children and 28 adults lost their lives that day. Now, he shares his story to make sure the children of Aberfan are never forgotten.

60yrs on you might think you’ve heard all the horrors of Aberfan but then you listen to Viv Jones speaking for the first time about how as a 15yr old, the body of his 9yr old brother Paul was placed in his arms 💔Remembering the 144 killed including 116 children.

I wasn’t ready for this one 🥹
Telstar goalkeeper Ronald Koeman Jr was playing just days after his mother, Bartina, passed away. During the match against AZ Alkmaar, the whole game paused to honour her, with both sets of supporters rising to applaud.
I’ve never seen anything quite like this happen mid-match!!
When you’re playing, you’re taught to shut everything else out and focus on the game. But some moments are much bigger than football.
For an opposing club to pause the match and give Ronald and his family that moment was incredibly special. I can’t imagine there were many dry eyes in the stadium... or watching this video.
This truly shows the beauty of the football community ❤️👏
