Combating loneliness in Teenagers with Cancer

Dear Supporters,

Thank you so much for continuing to support us in our mission to combat loneliness among young people living with and beyond cancer. Your donations are making a very real and personal difference.

Since our last update, we’ve been continuing our vital outreach work, which forms the heart of this project. Our Beneficiary Engagement Team have been making regular, personalised calls to the young people we support—checking in with them, offering a listening ear, and helping them stay connected and engaged with our programs.

These calls are more than just a courtesy; they’re a powerful tool for connection. They remind each young person that they are seen, valued, and not alone. For many, these conversations offer much-needed encouragement, a chance to share how they’re really feeling, and gentle accountability to keep looking after themselves and making time for activities that support their wellbeing.

Sometimes, just knowing that someone will call to check in makes all the difference—it helps break the silence that isolation can bring.

Thanks to your support, we’re able to keep showing up for young people in ways that are compassionate, consistent, and deeply human. Together, we are helping to build a stronger sense of community and belonging, one conversation at a time.

With heartfelt thanks,
