Canteen group events & programs
Our face-to-face events and camp-style programs bring young people together in fun, relaxed environments. They will meet others who “get it,” take part in creative and recreational activities, and build strong peer connections.
Whether it’s a weekend retreat or a local meetup, these group experiences are all about connection, support, and shared understanding, and cater for people who have a range of cancer experiences. What's more, 99% of people would recommend us to a friend dealing with cancer, which shows that our services make a meaningful impact in helping young people deal with cancer.
Check out this quote below from a young person who attended Thrive, a program which is aimed at people who have completed active cancer treatment.
“I would do it again in a heartbeat.. The biggest thing that stood out to me was how validated I felt actually speaking to people who had the same experiences. [It was] the most comforting experience I could have had.”
