Campaign Manager – National Bandanna Day

We get it. Just when life should be full of possibilities, cancer crashes into a young person’s world and shatters everything. CanTeen is the game changer.

CanTeen is a national support organisation for 12 – 25 year olds who cope with cancer in their family. Through CanTeen, they learn to explore and deal with feelings about cancer, connect with other young people in the same boat and if they have been diagnosed themselves, we also provide specialist, youth-specific treatment teams.

No matter which role you are in, working for CanTeen is a chance to support young people rebuilding the foundations that crumbled beneath them when cancer turned their world upside down.

You can be the difference.
