Lifting The Lid

Sex. Menopause. Mental health. Friendship. Inequalities. Fitness. Just a few of the things we've tackled in our Lifting the Lid series. Because we're passionate about shining a light on the topics that matter. About asking the questions that our community need answers to. And finding the experts to give them the answers they deserve.

Our NHS is stretched. It's impossible for them to offer a completely holistic approach to cancer care. Lifting the Lid is an opportunity for young people diagnosed with cancer to explore the areas where they need more information in a forum which is specifically designed for them. Hosted at the ace Samsung KX, these events are about as far from a clinical setting as you can get but you can bet your a$$ the info you get is just as reliable as if you'd got it from your doc.
