There are time when sadly treatment doesn’t work….This is hard for everyone, and there are some TYA’s that are parents themselves. We have been providing this beautiful book and a rainbow soft toy to stay with each of them, both parent and child ❤️ #TYACancerAwarenessMonth
This may just seem like a bit of fun, which it is, but for one long term patient unable to swallow therefore eat, for weeks due to GVHD…. They savoured every moment of tasting the TimTam before spitting it out and loved it #HospitalYouthWork #TYACancerAwareness
A bit of tasty fun for TYA inpatients today to follow our Trivia with Australia last week! Similar biscuits, but which one gets the vote?! #BattleOfTheBiscuits

#BigBreakfast order worthy of wearing the T-shirt this morning for TYA in patients University Hospitals Birmingham Thank you to University Hospitals Birmingham Charity for their continued support of this much looked forward to treat 🥓 🍳
Half Term holidays mean some serious room tidying (after making some serious mess all week!). My daughter decided to colour coordinate her books ❤️ #LoveReading
So happy to share that this has been selected by the young people as our next #BookClub read! Great to hear that there is an audiobook available too for those that may struggle with reading. Excited to get started! #LoveReading Sue H Cunningham❤️🩹 😇Totally Deceased out now! Scholastic UK
Wonderful visit from Ki and his owner Jane to Teenage Cancer Trust YPU yesterday- really cheered people up, especially those missing their own pets from home ❤️ Thank you to University Hospitals Birmingham Charity #PetsInHospital
Today we travelled to the other side of the world to meet Young People & Staff from Canteen Australia with YP from Teenage Cancer Trust in the West Midlands
for an afternoon (or evening in their case!) of Trivia. A great example of #PeerSupport for #TYACancerAwarenessMonth 🇬🇧 🇦🇺
As far as jobs go, being a Teenage Cancer Trust Youth Support Coordinator may have its extreme highs and lows…. but seeing YP on this stage is certainly one of the best highs ❤️
