Your impact
Youth Cancer Service
Your donations are vital as we receive no direct government funding.
Around 4,200 new rangatahi are impacted by cancer each year, whether it’s their own diagnosis or cancer in their whānau. You're helping ensure rangatahi don't face cancer alone.
Georgia's message
Georgia was 12 years old when her mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer. That is when she turned to Canteen for support, like counselling and connection with other rangatahi who could understand what she was going through. This is all thanks to our supporters, like you.
You're making a difference
Every gift to Canteen helps provide a safe space for rangatahi to connect, share the tough stuff, and get a break from cancer. You helped Canteen support nearly 700 rangatahi in 21/22.
Mental Health Support
Canteen provided more than 2,600 counselling and other support sessions last year. An evaluation of the service found that 82% of rangatahi said their mental health improved.
You're supporting rangatahi, like Josh
“Without this service, I honestly don’t know where I would be, and I believe it is one of the most important services for all of our rangatahi as mental health is deeply affected by any cancer journey."
