Canteen supports 12-25 year-olds dealing with their own diagnosis, a close family member’s cancer or the death of a loved one. Our services also now extend to parents, because when they cope better with cancer and communicate openly, their children are likely to experience less distress and anxiety.

Cancer affects everyone differently. That’s why Canteen provides a wide range of free support services to help young people overcome the specific challenges they're dealing with.
 
Canteen would not exist without the support and generosity of the community.  By making a donation or fundraising for Canteen you will be helping young people like Molly…   

Molly was only 17 when she was told she had blood cancer. From the moment she was diagnosed, Molly’s life was on pause, and she didn’t know if it would start again. 

For young people like Molly, a cancer diagnosis is an isolating experience, where they feel helpless and like no one understands their unique struggles. 

That’s why our online service, Canteen Connect, is vital in supporting young people aged 12-25 experiencing cancer. Our app provides a sense of community, where young people feel comfortable sharing their stories and connecting with others that understand their experience, while also having access to professional support.  

Thank you for your generous donation.
