Beyond delighted to see Roger get this much deserved recognition for all he’s done for young people with cancer and @TeenageCancer.

@KateCollinsUK, Chief Executive at Teenage Cancer Trust, says: “Today’s announcement by the Chancellor, of a £29bn funding boost for the NHS is a welcome step towards improving NHS Services. However, this must not result in a wasted opportunity for young people with cancer. (1/5)

This is Luke Tinsley, manager of Sleaford Town Junior Football Club U8s. His team had never won a game so Luke promised to dress up as a Lion for a match when won their first game. The team managed to secure the win just before Christmas. So true to his word this weekend Luke happily dressed up as a Lion for the match. 🤣🤣

Cancer kills more teenagers & young adults in the UK than any other disease. For those who survive, going through it without the right support can be devastating physically & emotionally. These aren’t just incredible gigs; they're life-changing. #TeenageCancerGigs

It is crucial that the views and experiences of teenagers and young adults with cancer, their families and expert frontline staff, are included in these conversations to help shape the 10 Year Health Plan and the future of cancer care. @TeenageCancer stands ready to help (2/2)

An unusual afternoon yesterday, representing @TeenageCancer at 10 Downing Street to mark the start of the consultation on a Civil Society Covenant.
So struck by the many remarkable leaders at the event (while keeping grounded by Larry the cat having any interest in any of us!).

At @TeenageCancer we know that the long-term underinvestment in the NHS is translating to challenges for young people with cancer to receive the best care and support that they need - and challenges for the skilled teams working hard within the NHS to deliver it. (1/2)

Using insight and expertise from patient focussed charities like @TeenageCancer must be crucial to the new 10-year plan but we encourage the government to remember that charities cannot be the default answer to tackling the challenges in this report. (2/2)
