Teens Unite have received a grant from Hertfordshire Freemasons, for an incredible £59,000, helping us to provide support to hundreds of young people living with cancer and the lasting effects.
The funding from Hertfordshire Freemasons will cover the role of the Charity’s Beneficiary Engagement Specialist for two years. This role not only organises and delivers the activities we run, but welcomes young people to Teens Unite; identifying their needs and interests, whilst also building relationships with social workers and hospital teams, to ensure young people are receiving the support they need at different stages of their cancer.
In the last year, we have provided 142 activities for young people: an average of 2-3 each week. We are currently experiencing an annual 10 per cent increase in registrations, and the funding from Hertfordshire Freemasons will help to effectively manage this growth.
Roxanne Lawrance, Chief Executive from Teen’s Unite, said: “We’re very grateful to Hertfordshire Freemasons for their generous grant, which will be a massive help to us in supporting young people fighting cancer. We’ll be with them every step of the way, helping them to live a life outside of cancer.”
