Every few hours, a young person in the UK is diagnosed with cancer. Yet too many are still let down by a system that wasn't designed for teenagers and young adults. They face delayed diagnosis, unequal access to specialist care, disrupted education, work and relationships, and lasting physical and emotional consequences that can shape the rest of their lives. Without specialist support, too many young people face cancer alone.

We exist to make cancer care work for young people. We combine specialist care with system change: funding expert Nurses, Youth Support Coordinators and age-appropriate hospital units while using evidence, partnerships and young people's voices to transform how young people experience cancer care. So no young person faces cancer alone.
