You only get one chance at being young, and those years shape the person you become. Friendships, mental health, body image, studies, work, relationships and choices about the future are hard enough to navigate – before a cancer diagnosis can shatter everything.

Teenage Cancer Trust provides the sensitive, individual care and support young people need at the toughest time they’ve ever faced – so they can get through cancer, rebuild their life and shape their own future. They fund specialised nurses, youth workers and hospital units in the NHS, so young people have dedicated staff and facilities to support them throughout treatment.
