The Youth Cancer Trust is a charity based in Bournemouth. It provides support and free, activity-based holidays for young people living with cancer in the UK or Ireland.
Are you (or do you know someone who is) a young adult living with cancer? We provide an opportunity to have fun and chill out in a safe environment with others who understand what it’s like.
