• We bring young people together so they can be treated together, by teenage cancer experts, in the best place for them.

• We educate young people about cancer and work with health professionals to develop their knowledge so we can improve the speed and quality of diagnosis.

• By funding research and working with our partners in the NHS, government and organisations both nationally and internationally, we strive to improve survival rates.

We lead the world in the care of young people with cancer. Together with these young people, their families and the passion of our supporters, we’re challenging the NHS and transforming lives.

We don’t believe that teenagers should have to stop being teenagers just because they have cancer. So we bring young people together so they can be treated together, by teenage cancer experts, in an environment suited to their needs.

We've funded, built and now maintain 27 units across the UK. We plan to build a further 7 so that all young people needing hospital treatment for cancer across the UK have access to the dedicated, specialist support they provide, no matter where they live. Your support from this event will go a long way to helping us achieve our target.
