Ensuring teenagers and young adults thrive, not just survive, following a cancer diagnosis.
It has been a long-standing vision for Teens Unite to open the first facility in England to provide short, residential breaks for teenagers and young adults who have experienced cancer.
Following the purchase of a property in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, this vision is now becoming a reality. Once open, the facility will transform the non-medical support currenty available to young cancer patients.
But, there is a £3.5 million fundraising target to reach before we can open the doors.
Until now, we have been without a base to run our activities and residential stays, which unite teenagers and young adults with a shared experience of cancer, and give them opportunities in life that cancer would otherwise deprive them of.
This new facility will enable us to support more teenagers and young adults who need us; empowering them to thrive in life without cancer holding them back.
We need your support to make it happen.

Detailed below are our events for Teens, Volunteers, Fundraising and Challenges.
Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
When Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
I needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.
With Teens Unite, I finally realised that I could climb out of this massive hole that I had been digging because I wasn't alone anymore.
If it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
