Teenage Cancer Trust

P4D | Parcels 4 Delivery is supporting worthwhile causes by offering a 'Round up your Pound' service at its checkout and we change the charity regularly. You can watch the gift grow over the course of three months and see the totals for every charity we've supported since the scheme began in May 2011 on our main charity page. We create a page for each charity we support, so you can learn more about what they do.

The Teenage Cancer Trust

Our Vision

Teenage Cancer Trust aims to ensure that every young person with cancer and their family receive the best possible care and professional support throughout their cancer journey. We also empower young people through education and advocacy.

What we do

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity devoted to improving the lives of young people with cancer. We believe that teenagers shouldn’t stop being teenagers because they have cancer. Usually placed on a children’s ward or with elderly patients, young people often feel isolated when facing a cancer diagnosis. We build specialist units in NHS hospitals where young people with cancer are treated with others their own age, in an environment suited to their needs.

Teenage Cancer Trust units are designed to be as close as possible to a young person’s normal life, helping them cope with gruelling treatment and long stays in hospital. They also bring teenagers with cancer together so they can support each other.

Young people are involved in the planning of Teenage Cancer Trust units, so you might find pool tables, games, vending machines, computers or friends chatting on webcams. It’s about giving teenagers the chance to be themselves.

We also fund Teenage Cancer Trust Nurse Consultants and youth support workers, across the country. Experts in teenage and young adult cancer care, they provide clinical expertise, develop services and research, deliver professional education and training and represent and advocate, nationally and internationally on behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust.
