Youth Cancer Trust

Overview

Open Weekdays

Youth Cancer Trust provides online support and free therapeutic wellbeing holidays for young people with over 18 and diagnosed with cancer before the age of 30, from anywhere in the UK and Irish Republic or who are patients of any UK hospital. You can also come on a holiday if you are living with the late effects of having had cancer.

The charity also provides digital support outside of the residential holidays. Please contact us for more information on how to join our secure digital network.

You'll be staying at Manor Farm Barn and the adjacent cottage Churn House. Both are located on the private land of a working farm, which is just like home form home, warm and friendly and you'll be well looked after by the YCT team.
