Shine Connect 2023 | The UK’s Only Young Adult Cancer Conference
20 September 2023 — david-allen
Shine Connect is returning this year with Reasons to Be Hopeful, 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.
Join the team in person on 14th October at Wallacespace Clerkenwell, or online from 15th to 19th October.
This year, they’re focusing on reasons to be hopeful and the conference includes a range of expert-led sessions on managing anxiety, using music as therapy, and returning to work after cancer, as well as a keynote on 14th October with the eminent Prof Gerard Evan who will be talking about the future of cancer research.
Come to meet other young adults with cancer, get access to quality information, and have some laughs. The in-person event is £25 and includes lunch and refreshments and there are also bursaries available for those who wish to attend who may need financial assistance.
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.
