Digital Voices

To work with a specialist provider to transform lived‑experience insights into powerful digital stories that raise awareness of cancer and amplify real voices across our communities.

Why This Matters

Storytelling is one of the most impactful ways to build understanding, reduce stigma, and help others recognise symptoms or seek support earlier. Digital stories allow people to share their experiences safely, authentically and widely, reaching audiences who may not engage with traditional information. They help humanise the cancer journey, highlight inequalities, and ensure that lived experience shapes future services.

What we did

We partnered with a digital storytelling provider to support community members in turning their real experiences into accessible, high‑quality digital stories.

We identified individuals with lived experience who wanted to share their journey.

We supported them throughout the storytelling process to ensure they felt safe, heard and empowered.

The provider worked with participants to record, edit and produce digital stories that captured their truth and perspective.

These stories are now available to raise awareness, spark conversation, and support education across communities and services.

Outcomes

What we achieved!

Authentic digital stories have been created that bring lived experience to life and raise awareness of cancer in a meaningful, accessible way. These stories help inform communities, support professionals in understanding patient experience, and provide valuable resources to use in education, engagement and service improvement. This work has strengthened our commitment to centring lived experience in everything we do and offers a lasting resource for awareness and learning
