We’re excited to announce that Teens Unite has officially entered a service collaboration with Young Lives vs Cancer (formerly CLIC Sargent) to ensure more young people have access to the vital support they need throughout their fight with cancer.
Whilst our roles as charities are very different, our ethos is the same; to help young people with cancer thrive and not just survive.
Young Lives vs Cancer is a charity that provides social care to young cancer patients – helping families handle the day-to-day challenges that come with a diagnosis, from applying for financial support, liaising with schools and employers to offering the emotional support that is so often needed.
We’ve worked closely alongside Young Lives vs Cancer for many years now, and whilst we are still very much continuing to deliver our own separate service provisions, this collaboration is already enabling more young people to benefit from the support that each charity provides. We’ll make sure they know about the logistical support available from Young Lives vs Cancer, and they’ll be pointing young people in the direction of our peer-to-peer support outside of a medical environment, which can be accessed from diagnosis through to remission and beyond.
You’ll already see that we’ve started signposting each other on social media, but we’ll also be teaming up for special events and working together to ensure that staff and beneficiaries know who we both are and how they can get involved.
