The Youth Cancer Trust is a unique charity based in sunny Bournemouth. It provides support and free, fun activity based holidays for young people aged 14 to 30 suffering with cancer or any malignant disease from anywhere in the UK and Irish Republic or who are patients of any UK hospital. You can also come on a holiday if you have been in remission for up to 5 years.
Put simply, we provide a safe place where young cancer patients can be together to enjoy a fun time away from hospital, doing what young people normally do without a cancer diagnosis.
The holidays take place all year round and run each week from the Monday through to the Friday.
We take groups of 8 each week of a similar age.
What's great about The Youth Cancer Trust?

You can get your own group of together of friends you made in hospital.
-
You can forget about cancer and hospitals for a while.

The activities are great fun. Everything from horse riding in the beautiful
New Forest to banana boating.

You choose what you want to do and if you don't feel like taking part in
the activities, you can relax at Tracy Ann House. We have a pool table,
Xbox360, PS3 and in-house karaoke or you can just chill out in our lovely
garden or beach hut.
You'll be staying at Tracy Ann House which is just like home from home, warm and friendly and you'll be well looked after by Jim, Brenda, Georgie, Derek, Peter, Laura and the YCT team.
