Welcome to Youth Cancer Trust!
The Youth Cancer Trust is a unique charity based in sunny Bournemouth. It provides free, fun activity based holidays for young people (aged 14 to 30) suffering with cancer or any malignant disease from anywhere in the UK and the Irish Republic, or who are patients of any UK hospital. You can also come on a holiday if you have been in remission for up to five years.
Groups are made up of similar ages and you can also put your own group together of friends you made in hospital.
