2,300 young people are diagnosed with cancer in the uk every year
A cancer diagnosis in your teens and early twenties is particularly devastating. Through our specially-designed residential stays and online counselling, we help young people with cancer find a community who truly understand, and rebuild the identity and wellbeing that cancer has shattered.

“This place has been a lifeline. I met people who just get it – who know the fear of waiting for test results, the frustration of missing out on life, and the challenge of finding yourself again while living with and beyond cancer.”
