We want a better future for children and young people with cancer. Today we’re sharing our 2024/27 strategy, The Time is Now, laying out how we'll contribute to making it happen: ow.ly/GMEM50ToyRO

Children and young people with cancer need to be prioritised by the new UK Government.
With our friends at @CCLG_UK, alongside leading charities, we’ve written an open letter to the new Prime Minister asking him to do just that.

The results are in, and lots has changed. But we're still clear: the new UK Government must prioritise children and young people with cancer.
Congratulations to all MPs elected and @Keir_Starmer on entering No10. We're ready to work with you to deliver for young cancer patients
ALT Vic and Dylan stand outside the black front door of Number 10, Downing Street. They are knocking on the door and holding a box which contains a petition for Young Lives vs Cancer's campaign Running On Empty. Vic is wearing a black Young Lives vs Cancer t-shirt and Dylan's white t-shirt has multi-coloured dinosaurs on it. They are both looking at the camera and smiling while they knock

One of the reasons they are banning antiracist history books is because they don’t want people to learn how they constructed racism. Because the more we learn how they constructed racism, the more we learn how to deconstruct it and build equitable and just and democratic societies for all people. The more we build equitable and just and democratic societies, the more people of color resist their racist efforts to take us back and the more White people join in that antiracist resistance because they realize equitable and just and democratic societies benefit them more than a deeply unequal society ruled by fear-mongering fascists and tyrants spreading bigotry of all kinds to divide and conquer us.

We know it can feel confusing, overwhelming & lonely after finishing cancer treatment. If you are feeling this way you do not have to navigate the 'what next' alone. We'd love to invite you to our support group on 13/October. Book your space - buff.ly/3QeMaXP

If you have 2 minutes please sign your support for a Young Cancer Patient Travel Fund to help families afford travel for cancer treatment bit.ly/33PJW9Z
& if you have 4 minutes please share details of @CLIC_Sargent’s campaign with your family and friends 🙏🏽 #CancerCosts
Families of young cancer patients face an average round-trip of 60 miles to get to hospital for treatment, spending at least £180 a month when treatment is at its most intense. We need all party leaders to commit to a Travel Fund now: bit.ly/33PJW9Z #CancerCosts

A clinical trial investigates a new treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Could this be the miracle drug millions of people have been waiting for? #ParkinsonsDrugTrial

I urge all my family and friends to try to shop at @Morrisons to support @CLIC_Sargent . We were supported by them both financially and with the most amazing oncologist Nurse Elen. We’re trying to shop there more, and on the look out for their new shopping bags. #iwansfight

It takes 1 minute (3 if you don't use all your fingers when you are typing) to do the most incredible thing & donate so that we can make life for everyone under 25 with cancer a whole heap better. You know it makes sense, £5 would make a BIG difference. 😍😍 Thank you.
‘When cancer happens, it blows a huge hole right through your family.’ Listen to Doon Mackichan’s story on BBC Radio 4 about when her nine-year-old son had cancer – and how CLIC Sargent's support was a lifeline. bbc.in/2RHL3RY

The big C is a scary diagnosis for anyone, but when it's your child, it's easy to feel powerless & alone ☁️
If you need support, check out our fact sheet, a handy resource that signposts you to charities that support children with cancer #WorldCancerDay

.@CLIC_Sargent is on a mission to find out how they can reach every child and young person who wants support. They want to know how they can do this and are calling on young people who were diagnosed with cancer between 16-24 and their parents to help them cvent.com/d/6bq3fh
