The sad truth is that cancer doesn’t stop for anything. Many young people with cancer are particularly at risk from coronavirus, facing extreme isolation and uncertainty right now. So Teenage Cancer Trust are doing everything they can to support young people throughout this crisis.
If you feel able to support them at this difficult time, please donate today on their website.

Talking about the initial announcement, Kate Collins, Chief Executive of Teenage Cancer Trust, said: “Following the Royal Albert Hall’s decision to close, Teenage Cancer Trust’s upcoming week of fundraising shows, Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall, are postponed. We know this will be a huge disappointment to everyone involved in this year’s shows; the artists who were due to perform, their teams, everyone involved in planning the events and - most of all - everyone who had bought a ticket.
“However, the health and wellbeing of anyone due to perform, work, volunteer or attend the shows is our overriding priority. We understand that many people will have questions about what happens next, especially those who have tickets. Please keep hold of your tickets, as we are currently working with partners and artists on answers to these questions and will come back as soon as we can. We are, obviously, very disappointed that we have had to announce this. I’d like to thank everyone who committed their time and support to this year’s shows for their understanding. Together, we will continue to make sure that young people don’t face cancer alone.”
