#ReachingOut to adolescents and young adults around the world to make something good go viral ❤️🌍
Let’s help and reconnect Teenagers and Young Adults with cancer #ReachingOut @AmeliaH_NUH @NUHNursing @e39oncology @EastMidsTYA
Have just finished this thought provoking book by @aitchisonwrites for #TYANextChapter #BookClub Can’t wait to talk about it next week and how coping with loss can be like a “favourite mug that had smashed and been lovingly glued back together, now used as a pen pot”
Check out this fab #Lego creation by a patient on @TeenageCancer YPU at @uhbtrust this week, which helped pass the time ❤️
It’s the #LittleThings that often make a #BigDifference
Offering a stick of fruity ice on a hot, hot, hot day made @TeenageCancer TYA in patients at @uhbtrust feel a little cooler
Its #CarersWeek & thanks to @UHBCharity @TeenageCancer
& @AldiUK we have been able to give care packages to parents and loved ones of TYA in patients @uhbtrust all week.
This small gesture means a lot and hopefully serves as a reminder that “You can’t pour from an empty cup”
To any YA authors out there…
I am wondering if anyone would be interested in offering a unique opportunity for a TYA to name a character in your next book? Please get in touch if you think you could help 🤩 #LoveReading #TYANextChapter
Certainly made someone’s face light up today thanks to @Dominos_UK
After a long stay and now on the road to recovery post surgery @ROHNHSFT, the offer of pizza was very much appreciated. #ThankYou for your continued support of @TeenageCancer #MoreThanJustASlice 🍕
Amazing evening to start our new read by @aitchisonwrites
#TYANextChapter Book Club flying the flag for 4 different countries with YP & staff from ,🏴 🏴 , N 🇮🇪 & S 🇮🇪 (even loose 🏴 connections too!)
Wonderful conversations, with everyone looking forward to reading on!

Thanks to the Children’s Healing & Therapies Support (CHATS) team @brumshospice for a fab day learning to make hand casts- such a personalised course where I got to make a cast of my hand and gained insight on conversations to have with people while making a priceless piece ❤️
Thank you to @UHBCharity for funding this course and supporting the materials to enable this to be carried out with patients who are looking to make a lasting piece with or for their family ❤️
When it’s set to snow, and you can’t get outside, we bring the snowman fun to the patients! Loved seeing smiles at these handed out to TYA in patients today @uhbtrust on @TeenageCancer YPU #DoYouWannaBuildASnowman
Festive Fun for our West Mids TYA patients this week at our Christmas Party. So many people to thank for making it such a fab event enjoyed by all
Lots of thank you’s to follow…..
Big #ThankYou to one of our very own TYA patients that carried out a project at college to raise donations of gift sets to give out to everyone that attended 🤩 with more to come next week for patients who are in hospital over the festive period #KindnessCounts
Finally, #ThankYou to the young people that attend and who make delivering these events so worthwhile. Seeing #PeerSupport in action is amazing, and YP welcoming those that are new to events is priceless 😍
