The disturbing acts of racial hatred and islamophobia that have unfolded across the UK are deeply troubling and go against the values we stand for at Young Lives vs Cancer and the communities we serve (1/4)

Our research shows 80% of children with cancer don't receive enough support for their mental wellbeing during treatment. This #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, help us make sure children with cancer get the vital support they need, when they need it: ow.ly/Wj2Z50TaALm #CCAM

When Amelie was 11, her world came crashing down. One day, she was a confident gymnast, runner, singer and beat-boxer, the next she was undergoing a 10-hour surgery to have a tumour removed from her brain. We want to transform the future of cancer care for children like Amelie.

September is childhood cancer awareness month. Our young people deserve the best chance in life, and those living with cancer need more support than ever. Whether that is through research, prevention or medical care, we need to do more. Young Lives vs Cancer #CCAM

Children and young people with cancer and their families have unique needs. We were pleased to meet with Rt Hon John Glen MP to discuss some of these needs and how a Children and Young People's Cancer Plan would help. Thank you John for meeting with us this #CCAM

Having cancer pushes families and young patients deep into a financial hole that it can be almost impossible to get out of. Young cancer patients and their families will be left further behind if these inequalities aren’t purposefully tackled.

Congratulations Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ on election as Chair of the Health & Social Care committee. Young Lives vs Cancer looks forward to working with you to improve experiences of young cancer patients. Currently the system of support is not good enough & we need to work collectively to make change

This lays bare stark truths about the NHS, but misses critical challenges for young cancer patients. We need national strategies to ensure the unique needs of children with cancer aren’t overlooked. The Young Lives vs Cancer team are looking into the detail, stay tuned
