We were delighted when Stuart, from our graphic design team at Symbian Create, introduced us to Keri, Sales Director at Amherst Homes. Stuart and his team have been working with Teens Unite for a number of years and are very familiar with our work.
So, when Stuart met Keri at a networking event, and they got talking, Stuart thought that Keri would be a good connection for Teens Unite, and made the introduction. Keri has connections with Fairy Croft House, an Arts and Entertainment Centre based in Saffron Walden, and Stuart knew that we do a lot of art and music therapy with the Teens, so thought we might like to work together on a project.
We are very excited to explore this opportunity, and will keep you posted on what happens.
Keri started to look at Teens Unite, and what we do, and decided that, on behalf of Amherst Homes, they would support our Bauble Campaign, making a very generous donation of £500. This will make a huge difference to the support that we are able to offer young people fighting cancer to live their best life, while others search for a cure.
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.
Nathan, 23, VolunteerTeens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
Jess, 22, Teen, Acute Myeloid LeukaemiaWhen 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.
David, Parent to Elliot, 18, Non-Hodgkins LymphomaI 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.
Harry, 20, Teen, Testicular CancerWith 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.
Leanne, 21, Teen, Acute Lymphoblastic LeukaemiaIf 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.
Derry, 20, Teen, Brain TumourMy wife inspired me to volunteer following her fight against cancer. I wanted to help others carry on living their lives the way she did. And that's exactly what Teens Unite does.
