 About Shine Cancer Support:

Shine is the only UK charity that support adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s who have experienced a cancer diagnosis.

There is never a good time to have cancer, but they know that younger adults face different issues than their older or younger counterparts. Many of these are not dealt with by traditional cancer support charities and services.

Shine Connect is returning this year with Rebuilding Resilience, a hybrid conference taking place online and in person.

Shine Cancer Support’s annual event brings together adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s who have experienced a cancer diagnosis. This event not only gives you a chance to meet others and listen to the experiences of young adults with cancer but also to hear from experts in a range of fields.
