We're ending our tenth anniversary year on a high, and are taking time to reflect, not just on one year but on a decade of Teens Unite where we have generated an incalculable number of smiles, united hundreds of young people and helped them create new, lifelong friendships at a critical time in their lives.
The commitment from our Supporters and Volunteers truly helps to make life changing differences to young people following a cancer diagnosis, and we cannot thank them enough for their support.
To fully understand the positive impact Teens Unite continues to make, and in the words of the people supported by the Charity, we'd like to share with you our new video.
2018 will be another very exciting year, as Teens Unite has officially launched our capital appeal to open the UK mainland’s first purpose-built retreat. We encourage you to read all about our plans and ambitions for the House of Teens Unite.
Over the coming days, we will share with you some of the achievements of Teens Unite, in this our tenth anniversary year. We want to say the hugest of thank you's to everyone who has supported us and helped us over the years to deliver the short and long term goals of Teens Unite.
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.
