Empowering Young Heroes: The Story of Project Youth Cancer

Welcome to this episode of Podcasts for Business, where we have the pleasure of speaking with Pam Thornes, Chief Executive of Project Youth Cancer. In this insightful discussion, Pam shares the inspiring journey of a small charity that emerged from the Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust, driven by a mission to support young cancer patients aged 13 to 24.

Project Youth Cancer, now approaching its 30th year, has evolved to focus on mental health and emotional well-being, offering crucial support like self-referral counselling and creative therapy projects. Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, the charity has thrived, demonstrating resilience and a commitment to positive change.

Join us as we dive into the impactful initiatives like 'Open the Door', which aims to provide essential post-treatment support, and the innovative use of art therapy to empower young patients facing radiotherapy. Discover how this passionate team of two, alongside dedicated volunteers and trustees, continue to make a significant difference in the lives of young cancer patients across the UK.
