And, we're feeling the support, right in the middle!
Last month we told you about the formalisation of our two year partnership with TUI Care Foundation. Although the partnership was formally acknowledged last month, the crew at Stansted had been collecting funds for us for some months. This year, to date, they have collected a phenomenal £2,791.98.
With the commitment of these funds, we ensured that the Teens attending our Activity Stay in August were able to take part in some of the "Challenge Me" workshops from our program Positive Steps. These workshops provide an opportunity for the Teens to really test both their phsyical and mental strength. They're encouraged by us and their Peers to participate in, and complete, sometimes, small physical tasks, where they see their confidence and self esteem increase and they have a real sense of achievement. By taking part in a really supportive environment, they can start to understand what they can achieve in all aspects of their lives.
You'll see from the photos of the event that the tasks they completed were definitely not small. During this week long stay, the Teens took part in rock climbing, bell boating and archery, and the feedback we received showed that their confidence and positivity was definitely on the up!
We are very grateful to the TUI Care Foundation for their commitment to raising funds over the next two years which will see us support more of the seven young people, aged 13-24, who every day in the UK hear the words "you have cancer".

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.
