YOUR HOME. THEIR WORKPLACE. - Season 2, Episode 2 - Young Lives, Big Impact – With Cerebra's CEO Jess Camburn-Rahmani

In this episode, Cecily Lalloo speaks with Jess Camburn-Rahmani, the new CEO of Cerebra, a UK charity supporting children with neurological conditions.   Jess, who brings a background in international development, shares her passion for breaking down barriers to services for families of children with disabilities. She discusses Cerebra's inclusive approach — offering free access to resources such as books and sensory toys through their library — and the organisation's commitment to bringing both support and joy to families, carers, and children.   Jess also introduces important new research into how service interactions can unintentionally traumatise families. She explains how Cerebra's legal team steps in to provide expert advice, helping families challenge decisions around support and services. Listen to Jess talk about major research on continence support for children, sleep exhaustion, and her encouragement to take care of our own wellbeing especially when caring for others.   Finally, Jess invites everyone to "Relay Your Way," an inclusive fundraising initiative designed for people of all abilities or disabilities. The event reflects Cerebra's mission to provide everyone with the opportunity to take part in sport across Scotland, England and Wales. Cerebra is proud to include 30 SEND schools and over 9,000 children.    For more information, visit Cerebra's website: https://cerebra.org.uk  and https://www.relayyourway.org Find Cecily on LinkedIn, buy her book, and subscribe to her podcast at  cecilylalloo.com
