Today, in the UK, 34 young adults in their 20s and 30s will hear the words "you have cancer". Whilst many more are coping with the challenges that cancer brings to every area of your life. 85% of young adults in our community wish they'd found out about Trekstock's services earlier in their cancer journey. That's where you come in. We believe passionately that this age group deserve support that is dedicated solely to their needs, that is evidence-based, whilst also being relevant to this demographic. They tell us they want to be seen as young adults first and foremost, and not defined by their cancer. They still want to have fun. They still want to keep active. They still want to eat healthily. That's why we have created a unique, evidence-based and fun set of programmes that allow them to meet, get active together and thrive with and beyond cancer. What support they need? 77% tell us they need psychological support 68% tell us they need help getting physically active 62% tell us they need help with diet and nutrition That's why all our services: Connect them with other young adults who get it too Inform them so they can navigate the challenges that a cancer diagnosis brings, Get them Moving by equipping them with tools to get active safely during and after treatment HOW WE CAN CONNECT THEM?

"Young people with cancer can often report social isolation and difficulties maintaining relationships. Social support is therefore a vital part of improving the psychosocial experience for young people during and after cancer treatment. The impact that peer support can have on young people should not be underestimated, especially for those who may have never met another young person with cancer. Peer support is a vital component of age appropriate care and gives young people the opportunity to meet others with similar concerns, share experiences, and give and receive emotional support which allows them to maintain a sense of normality and in turn, has a positive impact on their experience and wellbeing.“ Claire Fowler, TYA Clinical Nurse Specialist St George's Hospital, Tooting QuoteReference To find out more: Want us to talk to youR team?
