About the charity : Teenage Cancer Trust Teenage Cancer Trust
Every day in the UK, six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer. At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand that cancer doesn’t stop these teenagers being teenagers. We know that young people have a much better chance if they are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we have created specialist units that aren’t like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of a positive outcome. And we want every young person with cancer in this country to have that chance.

Personal message:

BE A GOONER. BE A GIVER.

Arsenal Football Club is supporting Teenage Cancer Trust as its nominated charity during the 2008/09 football season.

Through the ‘Be A Gooner. Be A Giver.’ campaign, the Gunners will aim to raise £300,000 throughout the partnership, enabling Teenage Cancer Trust to increase its support for teenagers and young adults with cancer in the London area, inside a new state-of-the-art Day Care Centre at University College Hospital due to open in 2012.  In addition to the £300,000 raised by Arsenal, Teenage Cancer Trust needs to raise a further £1.2million to complete the development of this unit.

The money raised by Arsenal will fund an Education Zone for teenage and young adult cancer patients within the brand new Teenage Cancer Trust unit inside University College Hospital’s Day Care Centre, the first of its kind in Europe. The Education Zone will be a dedicated space where those teenagers being treated can keep up with their studies and also learn more about their cancer. The zone will include technology enabling patients to contact their school, keep in touch with friends and even join in with lessons via webcam.

Not only will Arsenal be bringing a classroom to teenage cancer patients, it will help improve their psychological wellbeing, self-confidence and ensure their future life choices remain intact.

Please follow the lead of Arsenal and donate to Teenager Cancer Trust. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to do your bit: TCT will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Go on! Be a Gooner. Be a Giver.
