Build belonging: the importance of being visible, relevant and accessible to all

Our ‘Build Belonging’ Ambition says we will ‘be visible, relevant and accessible to every young person who has a cancer diagnosis in the UK and be somewhere every one feels they belong.’

It is so important young people feel they belong when they come on a Trust adventure. But what does 'belonging' mean? It is hard to put your finger on. You know it when you feel it, and we seek it out in our lives.

Lauren was supported by the Trust for a few years before going on to become a volunteer. She's been supported and now does the supporting; she's felt that belonging and sees it in others too. She shares what it looks like for her, why it matters, and how the Trust is currently getting it right.
