You are not alone.
Seven teenagers and young adults hear the words ‘you have cancer’ every day in the UK. We have united over 1,000 young people who have been diagnosed, to face their journey together.
Whether you have been recently diagnosed, undergoing treatment or in remission, we are here to support you every step of the way.
We understand that cancer doesn’t just effect your health, it can also impact your social, emotional and physical wellbeing. At a time when it’s easy to feel lost, isolated and alone, we provide opportunities for you to meet others your age who really understand what you are going through.
At Teens Unite, life isn’t all about the ‘c’ word. It’s just something that everyone has in common. You can talk about it if you want to, but if you don’t, that’s fine too.
We’re not doctors or nurses. We’re not social workers or a wish charity. We’re here to provide long-term support away from the stresses and strains that come with a cancer diagnosis, allowing you to live a life outside of cancer. With Teens Unite, you can make friends, enjoy new experiences and look towards a positive future.
We unite young people through workshops, activities and residential stays; all of which will help to restore your confidence and self-esteem and help you to learn some new skills along the way.
We also offer opportunities to enjoy premium ticketed events from sports matches to music concerts.
We have a calendar packed full of different workshops and activities for you to enjoy.
Our workshops and activities can offer a welcome escape from your daily routine. Although fun and laughter is at the heart of what we do, there’s so much more to our workshops and activities than just a good day out.
By attending our workshops and activities, you can expect to:

Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Nathan, 23, VolunteerTeens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
Jess, 22, Teen, Acute Myeloid LeukaemiaWhen Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
David, Parent to Elliot, 18, Non-Hodgkins LymphomaI needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.
Harry, 20, Teen, Testicular CancerWith Teens Unite, I finally realised that I could climb out of this massive hole that I had been digging because I wasn't alone anymore.
Leanne, 21, Teen, Acute Lymphoblastic LeukaemiaIf it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
Derry, 20, Teen, Brain TumourMy wife inspired me to volunteer following her fight against cancer. I wanted to help others carry on living their lives the way she did. And that's exactly what Teens Unite does.
