It’s Student Volunteering Week, and we want to celebrate the incredible hard work that has been put into supporting Teens Unite by Hertford Regional College students over the past few months.
By running a variety of fundraising activities – from a World Cup themed games day to a sponsored bike ride and a Christmas market – HRC Business students were able to raise an incredible £1,701.
HRC Lecturer Angela said: “Teens Unite was chosen as our Charity of the Year because cancer has touched all of us in some way, shape or form but also because it’s key for teenagers to support their peers and develop empathy and understanding.”
We are so thankful to have the support of young people in our local community who are passionate about making a difference to others the same age who are overcoming cancer.

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.
