Personal donations can be gift aided enabling Teenage Cancer Trust to claim a further 25p per £1 donated. Please download our Gift Aid declaration form (pdf), compete it and post it to us for us to claim Gift Aid on money you have paid in.

How much does it cost to keep the units running?

Currently all of the care and support for young people with cancer, and the education and awareness we provide costs just over £9 million per year.

But right now, we can’t reach every young person who needs our support. We’re working hard with our incredible supporters to make sure we can. 

I’m worried I might have cancer. What shall I do? I’m concerned that my doctor won’t take me seriously

If you are worried about your health, try not to keep it to yourself – talking to friends and family can really help.

So can talking to a professional – like your own doctor or a nurse at your school, university or a walk-in centre. For more information, please  look at our information about cancer section.  

Can you put me in touch with one of your celebrity supporters?

Whilst we do work very closely with a range of high profile people, this is purely on an ambassadorial level on behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust.

Unfortunately, we are unable to pass on individual requests from members of the general public.

Visiting our units

Unfortunately we are unable to organise visits to units in response to individual requests because of health and safety reasons and to avoid causing disruption to patients. 

You can see what our units look like and how we build them, on our unit pages.
