March 8 marks International Women's Day and we're celebrating alongside millions across the globe with a special episode of our Shout!Podcast.
We hear from four women who share their own experiences in their roles and, in one case, of receiving life-changing support from us.
Listen to the episode
Kath Billing, Chief Fire Officer of Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, starts the episode by talking about her journey through the fire service and what it’s like leading in her role today.
Then, Tess Churchill, Wellbeing Coordinator for Surrey and East Sussex Fire and Rescue Services, opens up about her recovery from ovarian cancer and the support she received from us - marking Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
And later, we chat with our Administration Team Leader, Sandra Harrison, and Clinical Assistant, Lucy Milton, who are two of our dedicated team members at Jubilee House, our centre in Cumbria, as they celebrate an incredible 30 years with the charity.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
