Teen and young adult group

Our teen and young adult group (TYA) is a group of local young people that meet professionals from Big C and the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital, to gain peer, emotional and practical support. The group meets once a month, sometimes online and other times in person, enjoying a wide variety of activities.

Activities and outings include bowling, baking, arts and crafts, and yoga.

The group is facilitated by staff at Big C and supported by consultants and nurses from the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital and Teenage Cancer Trust. The team at Big C help arrange the activities and outings and are there if you need extra 1:1 support and access to all Big C services.
