About Us

The Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust is a small national charity. This year it is commemorating its 20th Anniversary, two decades of fighting cancer in young people as well as celebrating the achievements of the trust during this time. The LCYCT funds research into cancers affecting 13-24 year olds, where cancer often strikes in dangerous and more complex forms. The trust also funds support mechanisms to improve the quality of life for young cancer patients who suffer loneliness and social isolation. With only 43 hospitals in the UK admitting young cancer patients, these young people have to travel far from family, home and friends to receive harsh and invasive treatments for their cancer, please help us make a positive difference to the lives of young cancer patients.
