Lifting The Lid

Join us as we lift the lid on the realities of living with and beyond cancer when you’re in your 20s or 30s. Lifting the Lid is a series of talks with a host of experts and young adults to raise awareness of issues affecting the young adult cancer community. It’s the home of honest and entertaining conversations on what matters most to you.

Past events have seen us chat about navigating friendship and cancer, exercise, menopause and the experiences of cancer in the LGBTQ+ and BAME communities. Hosted by Team Trekstock but with an amazing lineup of experts and young adults. 

Until we’re no longer all #socialdistancing, we’ll be running Lifting the Lid on Zoom. Keep an eye on our social media for upcoming dates.

Can’t make the event? We record them all, so head to our website or YouTube to watch whenever works for you.
