Continuing in their support for Teenage Cancer Trust, the staff are hosting a Charity Day, with a range of activities for all members of staff to get involved in, including a ‘Bake-Off’, a 90’s pop quiz, as well as dressing up as a teenager for the day!
Helen Bearfield-Swift, Regional Manager at Teenage Cancer Trust said, “We’ve been so impressed with the incredible enthusiasm and bravery of the whole team who took on this challenge on our behalf. I would like to offer a huge thank you to Excell for their continued support and wish them luck with their staff Charity Day.”
Across the UK, seven young people are diagnosed with cancer every day. Traditionally treated either on a children’s ward or on an adult ward often alongside elderly patients, young people can feel extremely isolated during treatment, some never meeting another young person with cancer. Being treated alongside others their own age, by experts in teenage and young adult cancer care, can make a huge difference to their experience.
