Life After Lary becomes a UK charity dedicated to supporting people after laryngectomy
New charity aims to offer long-term support, community and advocacy for people whose lives have been changed by laryngeal cancerLife After Lary is pleased to announce that it is now officially a registered charity in the UK. The charity will support individuals who have undergone laryngectomy or related treatment, offering peer support, practical guidance and advocacy to improve life after treatment.
Jono, founder and CEO of Life After Lary, said: “Becoming a charity marks a huge step forward for Life After Lary. It gives us the foundations and the legitimacy to reach more people, strengthen our services and ensure that every person living after a laryngectomy has somewhere to turn. Too many people feel isolated after surgery, unsure where to find practical advice or a community that understands what life looks like now. Our aim is to change that.
We are committed to building a supportive, inclusive community where people can share experiences, find guidance and feel less alone. We also want to be a strong voice on the issues that matter to those living with life after laryngectomy, from better awareness and understanding through to improved services and pathways of care.
For us, this is about more than organisational status. It is about standing alongside people whose lives have changed forever and making sure they have the support, dignity and visibility they deserve."
