  1. About us

Are you a healthcare professional?

DO YOU SUPPORT PEOPLE IN THEIR 20s or 30s LIVING WITH AND BEYOND CANCER? LET'S WORK TOGETHER SO THEY CAN LIVE BETTER. 


“I refer a lot of my young people after treatment to Trekstock as it is a great place to get some information and advice on how to get back into some physical activity without being judged, and access to tailored support”

What you do is amazing and we want to add to what you do by offering your patients and clients the next step in support. This page is designed to help you signpost to relevant services that your patients might not know about but which could give them the power and knowledge to live better with cancer.

This information is for nurses, doctors, physios, occupational therapists, [spell out YSC – sorry, couldn’t find it on google], psychologist, radiotherapist, dietitian and others at the frontline of delivering care and treatment to people in their 20s and 30s living with cancer.

8If something is missing, please tell us and we’ll try to fill the gaps. Email us now.


Today, in the UK, 34 young adults in their 20s and 30s will hear the words "you have cancer", while many more are coping with the challenges that a cancer diagnosis and treatment has already brought to their life. That's where we come in. 
“There’s no other charity like it. Your 20s and 30s are such an important stage of life and when cancer is in the mix it’s even tougher it’s so great to have a charity just for this age who supports us all so much”

“Trekstock helps us to ride this rollercoaster with amazing people, instead of trying to face it all alone.”

We help them...

*We're super proud of this research paper on our RENEW programme


"Trekstock provide support for young people with cancer in anyway they need. They focus on the young person as an individual and will go above and beyond to support people during and after their cancer treatment. They have supported me as Teenage and Young Adult Nurse Practitioner to ensure that my patients are supported at every stage of their treatment and provide me with resources that I can use to benefit so many patients who need age-appropriate support.  The patients that I have referred to Trekstock get so much from their services, from a friendly voice at the end of the phone, to providing comprehensive rehabilitation programmes post cancer treatment. They are incredible. Thank you Trekstock!“
