Celebrity supporters

Teenage Cancer Trust has some fantastic celebrity supporters who are all committed to helping us raise awareness of the charity and the issues affecting young people with cancer. They get involved in a number of ways, visiting patients on our units, taking part in fundraising events and supporting our awareness campaigns and regional appeals.

Unit Visits

When our fabulous celebrities have time, they often pay a visit to one of our units to meet patients and their families. Recently Newton Faulkner visited patients at UCLH and performed a couple of acoustic numbers. He was accompanied by Absolute Radio presenter Geoff Lloyd, who interviewed him about his relationship with Teenage Cancer Trust. Keep tuned to Absolute to hear Newton's interview!
