In this special episode, we reflect on the life and legacy of our colleague, Chloe Gibson, who passed away after her battle with Pancreatic cancer. Joined by her parents Graham and Chris is and our Health Manager Josh Stevenson, who was not only a close friend and colleague but also provided vital 1-1 support through our CARE programme.
We share heartfelt memories and stories of Chloe's impact both in the workplace and within the community. The CARE programme, dedicated to supporting those affected by cancer, played a role in Chloe's journey, and in this episode, we explore the incredible strength, kindness, and light she brought to everyone she encountered. Chloe was a beacon of positivity, often the light in others' lives, and we celebrate her legacy, the difference she made, and the lasting influence she continues to have on us all.
Please note: this episode contains in-depth discussions on cancer, diagnosis, mental health and grief, which some people may find upsetting.
