Today, I spent time with a young person who had just been given the worst news- the importance of #YouthWork in hospitals is being a non-clinical person able to ask if they wanted to talk about it or something completely different #YouthWorkWeek #HospitalYouthWork

#YouthWork can often be misunderstood as a ‘fluffy’ job full of pizzas and trips out, but it is Soooooo much more and I often feel like a dishevelled pigeon rather than a graceful swan #YouthWorkWeek

The YPU ensures each person is treated as a young person first, cancer patient second 🥰 .

Evidence shows countries with a long-term cancer strategy are more effective in improving cancer outcomes. That's why we're joining with other cancer charities to call on all political parties to follow evidence & commit to publishing a long-term cancer strategy #OneCancerVoice

We're pleased to hear the news of new cancer vaccine trials and hope these will be available to teenagers. No young person should ever miss out on the opportunity to take part in a clinical trial simply because of their age 👇
