Humans of Trekstock

Winter Appeal

Hearing the words ‘you have cancer’ changes everything.

At Trekstock, we don’t save lives by raising money for treatments or research. At Trekstock, we change lives by empowering those in their 20s or 30s to live their best life with and beyond cancer.

This winter, your donation will help us help the #HumansofTrekstock stay active, meet others and get support on the big issues they’re facing.

This winter, we’re sharing the stories, faces and voices of our community.

These are the people your donations support.

These are the #HumansOfTrekstock

RENEW Launches in Newcastle

Trekstock is excited to announce that we have teamed up with two fantastic charities, YMCA North Tyneside and Healthworks, to bring our specialist exercise programme designed specifically for young people in their 20s and 30s who have had a cancer diagnosis in Newcastle.

Navigating all the information around diet and cancer can be overwhelming, so we’ve created an expert nutrition guide with Dr Hazel Wallace & Friends.

What We Do

Our Story

Trekstock was founded in 2009 by Sophie Epstone after she became aware of a huge gap in tailored support services for those diagnosed with cancer in their 20s or 30s.
Nutrition and Cancer

Get active

Making yourself exercise is tough at the best of times, let alone when cancer's thrown into the mix. But with our RENEW programme, we'll help you keep moving in whatever way works for you. Move your body, meet others, feel confident and improve your physical and mental health.
