What's in it for me?
Regardless of your cancer experience or where you live, you can chat with other young people who understand exactly what you’re going through and add your voice to the conversations that matter to you. As part of the cancer support services that we offer, we created Canteen Connect so that you can socialise from the comfort of your couch with things like book clubs, gaming nights and crafting sessions. Plus our online counsellors are available seven days a week.
