Units
We involve young people when we plan our units, so you might walk into one and find a game of pool going on, someone chatting to friends on a webcam, or a group huddled by the computer. It’s all about giving teenagers the chance to be themselves.
A Teenage Cancer Trust unit brings teenagers with cancer together, so they can support each other. Being able to talk to people going through exactly what they’re going through makes a huge difference.
Alongside all of this is a medical team of teenage cancer specialists who pool knowledge to create a body of expertise that’s second to none. They’re backed up by our Nurse Consultants who provide clinical care, develop research, deliver professional education and ensure that standards remain as high as possible.

Family Support Network
Family Support Networks have been developed to provide support throughout the cancer journey. They focus on the needs of the whole family – if loved ones are supported the young person in turn will be supported.
