Uniting young people and rebuilding lives from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond. Cancer doesn’t stop when the treatment stops.
Our vision is to ensure no young person, aged 13-24 with a cancer diagnosis faces the social, emotional or physical effects of cancer, alone.
These young people will benefit from Teens Unite at every stage of their journey by attending our workshops, activity days and residential stays. They will have the opportunity to meet with others in a similar situation, gain strength from the relationships they form and establish a strong network of support around them. We will encourage them to take positive, life-affirming action to help them meet their goals and aspirations and offer support through the darker times.
Over the next three years, our strategy includes establishing the first retreat in England dedicated to young people aged 13-24 who have been diagnosed with cancer. It will be a purpose built home with a heart, which will enable Teens Unite to offer more workshops and activities to more young people, especially those who live further afield across the UK.
Detailed below are our events for Teens, Volunteers, Fundraising and Challenges.
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.
