What We Do

Every day 34 young adults in the UK are diagnosed with cancer. Trekstock exists to make sure that none of them face it alone. We help young adults with cancer in the UK to thrive with, through and beyond a cancer diagnosis. 

We’re the only charity that offers tailored support to this age group of cancer patients and we work to tackle social isolation and improve quality of life through and beyond their treatment. 

Getting diagnosed with cancer is like becoming part of a club you never wanted to join - but know we’re here to help you figure it out. Community is at the heart of what we do. If you’ve felt isolated in the wake of your cancer diagnosis, our community will help you feel connected.

“Cancer took away everything. Trekstock gave a bit of me back”

WHO DO WE HELP? 
  • Anyone diagnosed with cancer in their 20s or 30s 
  • Anyone in their 20s or 30s who is living with the effects of cancer and it’s treatments 
  • Childhood survivors of cancer living with late effects in their 20s and 30s
  • Anyone in their 20s or 30s being treated for MDS, Aplastic Anaemia, Low-Grade glioma, Borderline ovarian cancer or Basal Cell Carcinoma

Trekstock was founded in 2009 and delivers services to young adults across the UK. Through our specially tailored programmes, we’re able to be there for each and every young person, no matter what type of cancer they are diagnosed with or at what stage their diagnosis is.

"During my cancer journey I felt incredibly isolated. I was the youngest in my ward as well as the only minority, which was quite alarming – there had to be others, it was just a case of where. I want to help break the taboo around cancer within the BAME community and also raise awareness of the different types of cancer with Trekstock. Since discovering Trekstock I’ve made some amazing friends as well as getting the chance to add some great life experiences along the way."

All our programmes are designed in partnership with our community. We work to improve physical and emotional well-being, quality of life and provide the tools to help our young adults get moving again both through and beyond treatment. 

Our committee of Young Adult Ambassadors helps Trekstock support hard to reach groups in the BAME and LGBTQI communities, and also help us raise awareness of late effects, male and secondary cancers. 

Our programmes are all designed for our community by our community.

We offer: 

  • Tailored exercise support
  • Expert practical advice 
  • Access to our closed online community
  • Offline community events

    Lying in bed one day my boyfriend noticed something different in my right breast and asked if it had always been there. In all honesty I didn’t know. All I did know was that I could feel a lump.
