Trusts and Foundations

We simply couldn’t do our important work without help from the fantastic Trusts and Foundations who believe in our mission as much as we do. Grants from these organisations enable us to reach even more of the 38 young adults diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. Are you part of a Trust or Foundation that would like to work with us?

How Trusts and Foundations support our work:

Funding from Trusts and foundations helps us run our most important services, such as:

Our RENEW programme, designed to get young adults with cancer back into exercise
Our Food and Cancer resource, created in partnership with Hazel Wallace, aka The Food Medic, to demystify the often complex and overwhelming world of nutrition and cancer
Our Meet and Move workshops - designed to do exactly what it says on the tin – connecting our community with others who truly understand and help them get active in a way that works with their needs

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO THE FOLLOWING TRUSTS AND FOUNDATIONS FOR THEIR GENEROUS SUPPORT:
