Every day in the UK, 6 young people are told that they have cancer... Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity devoted to improving the lives of young people with cancer and they understand that young people with cancer require specialist care. It is damaging to take a young person away from their everyday life, their friends, their environment, their family – and put them in a cancer ward with small children or older people. Young people have a much better chance in their fight against cancer if they are treated by teenage cancer experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we're working every day to make that happen.

Clarke Roofing's Chosen Charity partner
Teenagers should have to stop being teenagers, just because they have cancer. Clarke Roofing have committed to help Teenage Cancer Trust to raise urgently needed funds to build a specialist unit for young people across the South East at The Royal Marsden hospital. This unit will bring teenagers with cancer together with loads of new friends of their own age so they can support each other. Alongside all of this will be a medical team of teenage cancer specialists who pool knowledge to create a body of expertise that's second to none. They're backed up by Nurse Consultants who provide clinical care, develop research, deliver professional education and ensure that standards remain as high as possible.

Teenage Cancer Trust units aren't like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. We want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance. 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.
