Welcome to Team Young Lives The Access Group we can't wait to work with you over the next year to help children and young people with cancer and their families
Delighted to welcome Stephanie Peacock MP as the new Minister for Civil Society. I look forward to working closely with you (& your team) to keep flying for the flag for the vital role charities can play in solving some of the biggest issues our society faces.

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
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
