Unlock the Power of Positivity: Your Wellness Wake-Up Call
"Cancer, Heart Disease, Health, and Well-being — with a dose of laughter to keep us going.
These days, Cancer and Heart Disease affect far too many men and women.
Nothing truly prepares you for the shock of a diagnosis or the terrifying moment of chest pain followed by a heart attack or cardiac arrest.
In our podcast, we open up about our own journeys — from diagnosis and treatment to the vital support of family, friends, and the mental health battles in between. We dive into the resources available, both medical and financial, and share the ways outside support can make all the difference.
But it’s not all heavy. We also talk about everyday life — news, sports, hobbies, arts, crafts — the things that keep us smiling through the toughest times. Special guests join us too, bringing their own stories, experiences, and fresh perspectives.
Most importantly, our podcast is light-hearted, funny, relatable, and inspiring. It’s informative without being overwhelming — and once you tune in, you’ll want to keep coming back.
So join us, laugh with us, and remember: all we ask is just a little smile.

Season 2, Episode 38
We are delighted to welcome this weeks guest Angharad Binder(Public Health Nurse) in the agricultural sector, delivering the Rural Communities Cancer Project with Farming Community Network (FCN) & Macmillan in the South East of England.
Resources (‘Nip it in the Bud’ campaign)
People in rural communities often have more advanced cancer when they are diagnosed and are 5% less likely to survive than people in urban areas.
Farmers often won’t get checked until the last minute. We need your help to change this.
This campaign have developed a range of resources which can be utilised to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage early detection, and to back our campaign. Resources below are free to use and can be widely shared and printed off.
Download our ‘Nip it in the Bud’ campaign pack and help them to raise awareness of cancer in farming and rural communities. This contains key messages and information about how to get involved.
The FCN are involved in a UK-wide partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support which is helping to improve the support available to those living with cancer in farming communities and rural areas.
As part of this partnership FCN is working closely with Macmillan Cancer Support, including raising awareness in rural communities of the signs and symptoms of cancer and building referral bridges to and from Macmillan’s services.
Farmers, farm workers and people living in rural communities can have lower access to cancer services and support due to the nature of their work and rural life in often isolated areas.
Farmers can be particularly at-risk of certain types of cancer – such as skin cancer, prostate cancer, or cancers caused by exposure to carcinogens.
Cancer can impact a family business that may employ many people and can have significant impacts on an individual and their families – including their housing and extended family situation, or immediate welfare issues for livestock.
- FCN can be contacted in confidence on 03000 111 999, 7am-11pm, 365 days of the year. Speak to an empathetic volunteer who understands farming life.
- The Macmillan Support Line is available on 0808 808 00 00, seven days a week, 8am to 8pm.
Further information about cancer and support available is available on FCN’s FarmWell website
