ABOUT TEENAGE CANCER TRUST Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through it. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need – so no young person faces cancer alone. This year has been a challenging one for everyone and at Teenage Cancer Trust we’ve also had to focus our efforts on responding to the global crisis. The demand for our support has never been greater, especially as Coronavirus means young people are facing more isolation, fear and uncertainty than ever before. Our income has been hit by almost one third and we expect this to continue through 2021. We’re not a big charity and we receive no Government funding, therefore we solely rely on the generosity of supporters like yourselves to survive Just £30 can provide an hour of expert nursing care. Even an hour of support from someone who truly understands what you’re going through is proven to make a big difference to feelings of isolation, anxiety and depression – something that’s needed more so now than ever. Right now Teenage Cancer Trust can’t reach every young person who needs them. With your support they can make sure young people get the nursing care and support they need, through their cancer treatment and beyond.
