Story



Every day seven young people hear the words you have cancer. Each one will need specialised nursing care and support to get them through.

A Group of streamers are taking on a sponsored 12-hour game-a-thon to make sure theyre supported before, during and after their diagnosis.

Gaming is a popular pastime on our units, where we try to provide a home from home for young people alongside others their own age. Its a great way for young people with cancer to relax, connect and socialise, bringing a much-needed dose of fun and normality to their day while theyre going through treatment. And gaming can help put young people at their ease, so that our support workers can start key conversations about how theyre feeling and the help they need.

12 hours Gaming finished off with a Live Acoustic Performance by Doffers.
