Our Group charity is proud to be supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust through a variety of fundraising activities this year. One of our main events is coming up, with the 𝗢𝗖𝗨 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 being held next Friday, 4th October. If you're joining us we can't wait to see you at the event. Find out below why tailored care for those with cancer at such a unique and defining time of life is so crucial. #OCUFoundation #fundraising #charity #events
Why do we need cancer care specially designed for young people ❓ Our teenage and young adult years are a unique and defining time in so many ways. When cancer puts this under threat, we’re here to help young people through it with our expert nurses and youth workers, and dedicated hospital units. But before Teenage Cancer Trust, there was no such thing as specialist cancer care for this age group. If you got cancer aged 13-24, you’d either be treated alongside younger children or much older adults. Cancer care wasn’t made for young people – and we knew this wasn’t right. That’s why we kicked off in 1990, and why we’re still here now. Here’s why specialist cancer care for young people is so important 👇 You’re not a child, but you’re very different to the older adults on a cancer ward. It’s a time full of milestones. First gig. First car. First job. Big exams and future plans. Life’s just getting started – then cancer disrupts everything. Just when you should be having fun and making lifelong friends, suddenly you’re set apart from your peers who don’t know what having cancer is like. Just when you’re becoming more independent, you might find yourself relying a lot on your parents or carers again. Just when you’re figuring out who you are and what’s important to you, cancer can feel like it takes your whole identity away. You probably haven’t been in hospital much before. In a healthcare system that wasn’t built for your needs, it’s easy to feel lost. Even getting a cancer diagnosis in the first place can take longer when you’re young – partly because it’s often so unexpected. Access to potentially life-saving clinical trials is lower for young people too. We’re working hard to change this. And at such a pivotal life stage, the mental health impact of cancer can be especially huge – so the right support is vital.
