Teenage Cancer Trust
Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through it. We’re the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need.
You only get one chance at being young, and those few crucial years will shape the person you become – your relationships and career, your confidence and wellbeing, and your ability to pursue your dreams. Cancer can throw all of that off track. Suddenly, your life’s been turned upside down. You’re scared, and living from one appointment to the next.
We make sure young people have someone in their corner right from the start. Our specially trained nurses and youth workers walk with young people from diagnosis through every step of their treatment, and for up to two years afterwards, so they can recover and live life to the full.
Our 28 purpose-built units within NHS hospitals are places where young people can feel at home, meet others their age, and welcome family and friends, while being looked after by a dedicated team of specialists.
We run events for young people with cancer to help them regain independence and meet other young people going through something similar. And we provide easy-to-understand information about every aspect of living with cancer as a young person.
We’re here to give every young person facing cancer the very best care and support during treatment and beyond, so cancer doesn’t stop them living their lives.
