Teenager Elise has only recently started coming to Teens Unite events, and we're really delighted to welcome her.
Elise used her journey and experiences of cancer as the inspiration for her final GCSE art piece, creating a stunning piece showing that the scars she has as part of her experience are nothing to be ashamed of.
Elise says "scars are memories of the battles us humans have to fight. My battle was against brain cancer. I won the battle, making me the surviving warrior - not the cancer." She describes her scar as a "battle wound" and goes on to say "not many people understand what we warriors have to battle against in order to survive, so this is a little part of my battle story showing what it is like to have cancer".

And you can see the stunning piece that she created below. There will be further opportunity to see more of Elise' work, and that of some other very talented teens as their work will be on display at the Spotlight Theatre, Hoddesdon from the 10th December.

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.
Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
When 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.
I 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.
With 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.
If 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.
