MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through it. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need – so no young person faces cancer alone. If you are able, we would like to urge you to support the hello! Christmas Appeal – even a small gift could make a big difference. Please donate today.
£ 10 could help provide expert information and answers for a young person whose world has just been turned upside down by a cancer diagnosis.
£20 could help one of the trust’s youth support coordinators be there to give a young person the extra help they need with whatever’s on their mind.
£ 25 could pay for one hour of a youth support co-ordinator’s time, so that a young person with cancer can talk about whatever’s on their mind and get support when anxiety and isolation feel overwhelming.
£30 could pay for an hour of care from one of its expert nurses, who’ve worked tirelessly all year to support young people through cancer treatment – often when restrictions still mean their parents can’t be there.
£100 could go towards all the things that help make a Teenage Cancer Trust unit feel like home, not a hospital – like TVs, sofas, pool tables and space to hang out and chat. OR
£100 could go towards an activity budget for the youth support co-ordinators – whether virtually or in person, they bring young people with cancer together to make friends, support each other, and enjoy a much-needed bit of normality away from treatment.
