Rebuilding Young People's Confidence
Why we matter
When a young person is diagnosed with cancer, life goes on hold just at the time they are starting to form their place in the world.
The impact on independence, education, employment, emotional wellbeing and their relationships with friends and family is huge. Many young people are also left living with a range of long-term physical effects.
The Trust helps young people rebuild lost confidence to discover a future they might never have thought was possible.
