Teenage Cancer Trust

Teenage Cancer Trust offers unique care and support, designed for and with young people. We fund specialised nurses, youth workers and hospital units in the NHS, so young people have dedicated staff and facilities to support them throughout treatment.

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.
