Teens Unite Fighting Cancer

Teens Unite Fighting Cancer Improving the lives of teenagers & young adults living with, & beyond cancer. This inevitably has a massive impact on their friendships and self confidence.

Teens Unite Fighting Cancer was co-founded by Karen Millen OBE and supports teenagers (aged 13-24) with cancer.. The charity aims to help young people build on their self esteem and self confidence and reduce feelings of isolation by taking them on fun days out. Activities range from concerts and football matches to motivational art and beauty workshops. The charity is based in Hertfordshire but s

upports teens from all across the South East. What makes Teens Unite unique as a charity helping this age range is that we support teenagers through treatment, remission and beyond, for as long as they need. The teenage years can be challenging enough without being devastated by a life-limiting diagnosis. We find that our teens need support post treatment more than ever as they have missed large amounts of school, work or university due to treatment. Our main aim is to get our teens together as often as possible in a fun-filled environment; giving them the chance to share their experiences and gain strength from realising that they are not alone in their battle. We recently asked our teens to fill in a questionnaire about the charity. One teen said that "Teens Unite is my lifeline".

Three months ago, we shared some incredible news - planning permission had been approved for The Home of Teens Unite, the first retreat in England dedicated to supporting young people overcoming cancer.

Since then, the hard hats may not be on just yet, but the work is well underway.

With the support of our incredible corporate partners, Volkerwessels, who have been coordinating and managing the project, weโ€™ve been progressing a range of vital pre-construction activities to move our vision forward.

From ground investigations and ecological surveys to design development and utility planning, a growing network of businesses and specialists have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare for construction.

Every survey completed, every design reviewed and every milestone reached brings us one step closer to creating a place where young people can rebuild confidence, reconnect with others and look forward to the future.

Planning permission is secured. The project team is in place. Preparations for construction are progressing. Now, we need the final funding to begin the build.
If you can help us reach our ยฃ4.5 million fundraising target - through a donation, professional services, or a corporate partnership โ€“ please get in touch and get involved.

Visit the link in our bio to find out how you can help bring The Home of Teens Unite to life.

From nervous smiles on the ground to huge celebrations after landing, every jump was made to raise vital funds that help us continue supporting young people living with and beyond cancer.

Together, our amazing skydivers have raised over ยฃ3,000! ๐ŸŽ‰

Weโ€™re incredibly proud of everyone who took part and grateful to each person who stepped out of their comfort zone to take on this challenge in support of Teens Unite๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ

A huge thank you also goes to everyone who donated, shared our fundraising pages and cheered the team on throughout the day! Your generosity helps us continue providing vital support for young people overcoming cancer.
