It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and much-loved volunteer, Sylvia Howard, following her cancer journey.

For 28 years, Sylvia was a much-loved part of our Conwy shop, volunteering from the day it first opened and giving an incredible 8,500+ hours of her time to help people affected by cancer.

Sylvia seemed to know everything there was to know about running a charity shop – from pricing and steaming to sorting donations and creating beautiful displays. She was a trusted key holder, regularly opening and closing the shop during staff holidays and absences, and was often the person keeping things going behind the scenes.

But books were Sylvia’s real passion. Our resident book specialist, she had an incredible knowledge of them, carefully valuing and displaying donations to help raise as much as possible for people affected by cancer. She was also a familiar face at our fundraising events, particularly during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, where she could often be found gathering sponsorship and supporting our campaigns.

In 2024, Sylvia was shortlisted for one of our volunteer awards in recognition of her outstanding contribution – a fitting tribute to someone who gave so much, for so long.

Sylvia was more than a volunteer. She was part of the fabric of our Conwy shop and the wider community she loved. Her kindness, knowledge, dedication and friendship touched so many people, and her absence will be deeply felt.

Our thoughts are with Sylvia’s family and friends, and with everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Diolch, Sylvia, for 28 wonderful years of giving your time, your energy and your heart. You leave behind an incredible legacy and will be very, very missed.

Cancer doesn't just affect health. It affects finances, routines, relationships and peace of mind, often all at once.

That's why our Nurse-led Support Line is there 365 days a year, giving specialist advice to anyone who needs it, whenever they need it. And it's why our new Money & More Cymru partnership, supported by Macmillan Cancer Support, exists too, helping people untangle the benefits and financial worry that so often comes with a diagnosis.

Behind both are teams who show up for people during the most challenging times of their lives. 💙

We're growing those teams, and if this kind of work speaks to you, we'd love you to take a look at what's currently available: https://tenovus.ciphr-irecruit.com/Applicants/vacancy

That ÂŁ1 ticket does more than you might think.

When Emma from Conwy was diagnosed with breast cancer twice in one year, while also losing her mum to stomach cancer, she turned to our Support Line nurses.

As Emma puts it: “They know you, and you don’t have to start afresh every time. You feel more than an NHS number.”

Your ÂŁ1 make a smile lottery ticket helps fund nurses like these, so people affected by cancer can access someone who listens, understands and is there when they need them most.

And there’s something in it for you too - 282 weekly prizes and a jackpot of up to £25,000.

Too many women know the frustration of raising symptoms and not being taken seriously. This Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month, we want that to change.

Know your body. Know the signs. Speak up.

Persistent bloating. Unusual bleeding. Pelvic pain. Changes that don’t settle.

If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it - and don’t let anyone else dismiss it.

Contact your GP and, if you’re still worried, go back. You know your body better than anyone.

If you need someone to talk to, our Support Line nurses are here for you: 0808 808 1010.

Sometimes, a voice on the phone can make all the difference.

Rhian has been a nurse for more than 40 years. These days, she leads our Support Line, but when the team is busy, she still picks up the phone.

One call has stayed with her.

A wife called, worried about her husband. As Rhian listened, she realised he might be having a stroke. She urged her to call 999 immediately.

A few days later, Rhian called back. He had received the treatment he needed, was back home and was well enough to continue his cancer treatment.

That’s the difference a nurse at the end of the phone can make.

For someone facing cancer, having an experienced nurse there to listen, reassure and help can mean everything.

You can help keep our nurses there for the next person who needs them. Sponsor a nurse from just ÂŁ5 a month.

Weithiau, gall llais ar ben arall y ffĂ´n wneud byd o wahaniaeth.

Mae Rhian wedi bod yn nyrs ers dros 40 mlynedd. Y dyddiau hyn, mae hi’n arwain ein Llinell Gymorth, ond pan fydd y tîm yn brysur, mae hi’n dal i ateb y ffôn ei hun.

Mae un alwad arbennig wedi aros gyda hi.

Ffoniodd gwraig gan ei bod yn poeni am ei gĹľr. Wrth i Rhian wrando, sylweddolodd y gallai fod yn cael strĂ´c. Dywedodd wrthi am ffonio 999 ar unwaith.

Ychydig ddyddiau’n ddiweddarach, ffoniodd Rhian yn ôl. Roedd wedi cael y driniaeth yr oedd ei hangen arno, roedd adref ac yn ddigon iach i barhau â’i driniaeth canser.

Dyna’r gwahaniaeth y gall nyrs ar ben arall y ffôn ei wneud.

I rywun sy’n wynebu canser, gall cael nyrs brofiadol yno i wrando, rhoi tawelwch meddwl a chynnig cymorth golygu popeth.

Gallwch helpu i sicrhau bod ein nyrsys yno ar gyfer y person nesaf sydd eu hangen. Noddwch nyrs o ddim ond ÂŁ5 y mis.

Quitting smoking could be one of the most powerful things you do for your health.

Every year in the UK, lung cancer kills more people than bowel and breast cancer combined.

That’s the reality - and it’s why stopping smoking matters.

We know it’s not easy. Ni****ne is genuinely addictive, and quitting can be difficult. But you don’t have to do it alone.

With the right support, you’re four times more likely to quit for good.

Our free, judgement-free advice can help you take that first step, whenever you’re ready.

Gall rhoi’r gorau i ysmygu fod yn un o’r pethau mwyaf pwerus y gallwch ei wneud er mwyn gofalu am eich iechyd.

Bob blwyddyn yn y DU, mae canser yr ysgyfaint yn lladd mwy o bobl na chanser y coluddyn a chanser y fron gyda’i gilydd.

Dyna’r realiti – a dyna pam mae rhoi’r gorau i ysmygu mor bwysig.

Rydyn ni’n gwybod nad yw’n hawdd. Mae nicotin yn gaethiwus iawn, a gall rhoi’r gorau i ysmygu fod yn anodd. Ond does dim rhaid i chi fynd drwyddo ar eich pen eich hun.

Gyda’r cymorth cywir, rydych bedair gwaith yn fwy tebygol o roi’r gorau i ysmygu am byth.

Gall ein cyngor am ddim, heb unrhyw feirniadaeth, eich helpu i gymryd y cam cyntaf – pan fyddwch chi’n barod.

You are more than a statistic.

A survival rate. A waiting time. A percentage on a slide.

Cancer can make people feel like numbers, while the person behind the data gets lost. And too often, men don't get asked how they feel about any of it.

The All-Wales Cancer Community is here to change that.

It brings people affected by cancer together to help shape the research, policies and services across Wales that affect their lives - because the people who have lived through cancer should have a say in what happens next.

Your experience matters. Your voice matters. And you are so much more than a statistic.

Rydych chi’n fwy na rhif.

Cyfradd goroesi. Amser aros. Canran ar sleid.

Gall canser wneud i bobl deimlo mai rhif ydyn nhw. Yn aml, gall y person y tu ôl i’r rhifau gael ei golli. Ac yn rhy aml, dydy dynion ddim yn cael y cyfle i ddweud sut maen nhw’n teimlo am yr hyn maen nhw’n mynd drwyddo.

Mae Cymuned Canser Cymru Gyfan eisiau newid hynny.

Mae’r gymuned yn dod â phobl sydd wedi’u heffeithio gan ganser at ei gilydd, er mwyn rhoi llais iddyn nhw yn y gwaith ymchwil, y polisïau a’r gwasanaethau yng Nghymru sy’n effeithio ar eu bywydau. Oherwydd os ydych chi wedi byw drwy ganser, dylai eich profiad chi helpu i lunio beth sy’n digwydd nesaf.

Mae eich profiad yn bwysig. Mae eich llais yn bwysig. Ac rydych chi’n llawer mwy na rhif.
