In this episode, Stuart introduces listeners to Flynne’s Barn, a unique charity nestled in the Lake District that offers young people with cancer a chance to reconnect with nature, creativity, and community. Katherine, co-founder of Flynne’s Barn, shares the deeply moving story behind its creation after losing her daughter Flynne to cancer, and how that loss inspired a sanctuary for healing and hope.

We also hear from Amber, a person who has experienced a stay at Flynne’s Barn. She opens up about the transformative power of the barn’s peaceful setting, creative workshops, and the friendships forged there. From archery and abseiling to writing poetry in the falls, Flynne’s Barn is more than a retreat; it’s a lifeline for young people navigating isolation and treatment fatigue.
