Help them believe they can
The Big Give Christmas Challenge
1st - 8th December 2026
Your donation - DOUBLED!
*Only donations made through the Big Give platform between midday 1st December and midday 8th December 2026 will be doubled.
For one special week, every donation made to Teens Unite through the Big Give fundraising platform will automatically be doubled thanks to our match-funder, The Reed Foundation. Please help us to reach our £75,000 target.
For many young people living with and beyond cancer, the biggest challenge isn't finding the support they need. It's overcoming the barriers that stop them accessing it.
Because when cancer takes so much from you, it's hard to see past what you've lost.
This Christmas, your donation can fund the time it takes to help a young person believe they can conquer those barriers.
The minutes that matter
When cancer turns your world upside down, it's easy to lose sight of yourself along the way. Your identity. Your confidence. Your friends. Your sense of who you are and what your future might hold.
When you're struggling with your mental health, changes to your appearance and the side effects of treatment, finding the confidence to leave the house, meet people and try something new can feel impossible.
That's why opportunities alone aren't enough.
Behind every friendship formed, every smile and every new experience at Teens Unite, are hours of personalised support that most people never see.
The time spent listening and building trust. The time spent encouraging a young person who isn't sure they belong. The time spent convincing them there's more to life outside their bedroom walls.
How your donation will make a difference
This Christmas, your donation can fund the time it takes to ensure young people are accessing the support they need. The time to pick up the phone and ask, "How are you?" To send a message saying, "Why don't you come along?" To check in, offer encouragement and remind a young person they're not alone.
We're aiming to reach a £75,000 fundraising target through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, funding 2,500 hours of personalised support for young people living with, and beyond cancer.
Make double the difference.
Thanks to match funding from The Reed Foundation, between 1st and 8th December, every donation you make will be doubled at no extra cost to you through the Big Give Christmas Challenge.
Together, we can ensure we have the time to support every young person struggling with the impact of cancer.
Every phone call, check-in message, conversation and word of encouragement takes time. Time that helps a young person rebuild their confidence, reconnect with others and believe in what comes next.
You'll be supporting more young people, just like Khadra.
Diagnosed with Osteosarcoma,
aged 16
The first year out of chemo and surgery I tried to block it out and looking back I don’t think that was very healthy.
Teens Unite has helped me meet others who've had a similar journey to me. It was nice speaking about a part of my life that has and still does effect me with people who understand.
Please watch Khadra's story to see how your
support will make a life-changing difference.
