For the last two years Teens Unite have been one of over 450 local charities that TSB Partners have supported up and down the country. We have been very fortunate to have partnered with the TSB branch in Ware.
Not only have the lovely team at this tiny branch sold many cakes and tasty treats, raffled hampers, named teddies, and encouraged customers to guess the number of sweets in the jar, the team have completed feats of physical challenge - climbing mountains, throwing themselves out of planes and bungee jumping, to raise much-needed cash to help local charities like ours keep going.
But the time has come for the branch to chose their new Charity Partners, and before they go we would like to say a HUGE thank you to Maria and the team for all of their support over the last two years. It has been an absolute privilege to work with them, and to get to know some of their very generous customers. The team have introduced us to a whole new audience and helped us create new relationships.
Whoever this incredible team support in their next partnership is very lucky to be working with them, and we wish them much good fortune.
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.

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.

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.
