Cancer Child healthcare Health & Medical Children & Education

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face everything cancer throws at them. We know everyone's different, so we work hard to provide support that’s easy to access and meets individual needs. “It’s like you’re in a bubble and you’re screaming but no one hears.” Those first days, weeks and months after a cancer diagnosis are overwhelming, when young cancer patients are confused, scared and anxious. From the moment of diagnosis, we’re there and ready to help families cope. Our care teams provide day-to-day support for each child, young person and family, from information and guidance to clinical care and specialist play during treatment.

Your Impact

Every day 12 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer. Yet not one of them has the same experience. All young cancer patients have different needs, opportunities and backgrounds and for some, the systems in place and gaps in support mean that their experiences are much more challenging than others. Far too many children and young people with cancer are experiencing inequality as soon as they are diagnosed due to a ‘one size fits all’ approach throughout much of the system. That’s why the support they receive must look beyond their diagnosis. It should provide them with what they need, so that they can go on to thrive no matter what. That’s why we exist.

£5

Could pay for toiletries, washing powder and cleaning products. They might seem like small items, but to children, young people and their families, they mean fresh pyjamas that smell like home after a long day in hospital. A home comfort that gives a sense of normality.

£26

Could pay for an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker so that children, young people and their families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey

£70

Could pay for a night of free accommodation at one of Young Lives vs Cancer's Homes from Home. This allows families to stay close to their child during treatment and offer them a safe haven where they can enjoy a moment of peace when their life has been turned upside down.
