Fun, food
and friends
all included

The Youth Cancer Trust provides secure online support and free wellbeing holidays in Dewlish, Dorset for teenagers and young adults
(over 18 and diagnosed before the age of 30) living with and beyond cancer from anywhere in the UK and Ireland. The holidays run from Mondays to Fridays during the school holidays and provide an opportunity to have fun and chill out in a safe and relaxed environment with other people of your own age who understand what it’s like to have cancer.

Youth Cancer Trust has moved from Bournemouth to Dewlish, Dorset at Manor Farm Barn and adjacent cottage Churn House. Both are located on the private land of a working farm.

To come on a holiday you will need to have agreement from your GP or health professional that you are fit to come. You can come before treatment, during or after… it’s entirely up to you. You can also bring a friend or sibling of a similar age.

Meals, refreshments, activities and accommodation are provided for you and there is no cost to you at all – everything is FREE!!
