Shine Cancer Support

We’re a charity that supports adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s with a cancer diagnosis, through a range of in-person and online activities. There is never a good time to have cancer, but we know that you face different issues to older or younger people. Work, relationships, mental health, fertility, travelling – we’re here to guide you through this and more.

A lot of our support can be accessed online. This includes our Facebook groups, blogs, and podcasts. We also have regular Zoom meet-ups and a Book Club.
We are running many activities, just get in touch to find out what is happening and when. If you’d like to get in touch or ask any questions, please email hi@shinecancersupport.org.

Our national conference, usually held in London, is designed to help you and your ‘plus ones’ (which may be a partner, friend or family member) meet others and share your experiences, as well as hear from experts from across the cancer field. We have covered a range of topics including menopause, being LGBTQI+ with cancer and making sense of the statistics. Shine Connect has been online since 2020, but we are excited to be back in person for 2023! You can take a look at some of the previous sessions on our YouTube channel and find out when our next conference is and sign up here.

We have 16 networks across the UK who meet up regularly for chats, coffee, and evenings out. With volunteer-led groups across the UK, from Devon, to Manchester, and Edinburgh, it’s a great place to meet people outside of a clinical setting.
