Flourish Magazine is a free print and digital creative magazine, by and for those with lived experience of cancer.

The magazine is created with the support of a steering group that includes people living with cancer and representatives of Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Barnwood Trust and NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board. 

Each themed edition features a range of creative responses, expert information and interviews that offer support and represent the diversity of the cancer community. 

Our next issue of Flourish Magazine will be opening for submissions this Autumn.

As we aim to impact positively on more contributors to, and readers of, this impactful magazine, and continue to seek funds to support our aims, it’s vital that we collate feedback and learning:
