This is a huge milestone for young people, Teenage Cancer Trust, and for our #AndYoungPeople campaign which focused on faster diagnosis, increased access to clinical trials and mental health support – all areas addressed in the Plan. (2/4)
Tomorrow is World Cancer Day, and the Government have confirmed that they will be publishing the National Cancer Plan for England. This morning, the Department of Health and Social Care shared that the Plan will include issues championed in our #AndYoungPeople campaign. (1/6)

Our campaign #AndYoungPeople highlights that cancer is different for young people than it is for children and older adults – and yet they are often overlooked in cancer plans and policies. (4/5)

42 MPs and I are backing @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social's #AndYoungPeople campaign - the National Cancer Plan needs to consider the unique needs of young people with cancer. That's why we've written to the Health Secretary to urge him to listen to young people's voice and act upon what they say.
April is Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness month 🧡
To mark #TYACAM, I’m supporting @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social's #AndYoungPeople campaign, ensuring that young people’s voices are not overlooked, but listened to.
We are calling on the Government to ensure that it acts through the upcoming cancer plan for England to ensure that these barriers are addressed, and we can improve access to potentially lifesaving clinical trials. #AndYoungPeople

It’s Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness month and our #AndYoungPeople campaign is raising awareness of why it’s crucial young people with cancer are included in the Government’s National Cancer Plan for England.
We want to share some of these reasons here:
The Government must listen to the voices of young people or risk leaving them behind.

That’s why we spend so much time saying the words: ‘and young people’.
That’s why we advocate for young people’s voices to be listened to.
And that’s why today we’re launching our campaign #AndYoungPeople (see what we did there?)
