YouCan are a project of The Children’s Development Trust, a charity that has been operating for 9 years, mostly with children and young people, helping them to improve their lives through well-being, sport, health and the arts.
The Trustees and team realised that everyone we know has been impacted by cancer in some way so decided to set up YouCan to specifically support young people, covering so many important times, such as changing schools, going to Uni, starting work and planning a future. With positive guidance and support when you need it, we don’t offer any medical care at all, but we will be alongside during and after treatment, because we understand that you need that support long afterwards.
YouCan have a great team with backgrounds working in charity and events, and our advisory panel and trustees are also very experienced professionals.
Maybe more importantly though, we get it. We’ve all been personally impacted by cancer, through friends, family and even some the team directly, so we understand.
We’re here for you, so get in touch.
