| Recipient Org: Description | Over 2,400 teens and young adults are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK, that’s seven-young people hearing the life-changing words ‘You Have Cancer’ every day. The good news is that 84% of these young people survive for five years of more, making the services of Teens Unite so important in helping them rebuild their lives. Research from The Bevan Foundation, CLIC Sargent and Cancer Research UK shows that as a result of cancer treatment in young people within this age group: 90% experience anxiety, 83% experience loneliness, 70% experience depression and 95% experience a negative impact on their physical ability. One in five families report a breakdown in family life as they come to terms with what’s happening. Our vision is to ensure that no young person faces the social, emotional or physical effects of cancer alone. Through our work, we encourage a positive outlook, increase confidence and self-esteem, teach new and life affirming skills. Supporting the young people to improve their social and peer networks, and build long lasting, life changing relationships. |
