The Universal Credit Bill passed its final stage this week, confirming changes Universal Credit will be made for those who apply from April 2026. Our CEO @RachelKirbyR has been reflecting on what the changes will mean for young cancer patients. 👉

Thank you @CarlaLockhart for noting the costs people with cancer face in today's #WelfareBill debate. Young people often rely on support like Universal Credit Health Element to help with unavoidable extra costs of £700 per month, and an average income drop of £6,000 per year.

UK Government has released their 10-year plan for health, an important step in addressing challenges in England's health services. Our CEO Rachel Kirby-Rider has spent the past day reflecting on the plan and what it means for young cancer patients. 👉

We urgently call on MPs to ensure significant amendments, including those promised by UK Government, are made to the Bill to stop those who need it most being left without vital support. If not, the Bill must be voted down next week #WelfareBill.

NEWS: Despite overwhelming concern from disabled people and organisations that support them, MPs have voted the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill through to its next stage on the first day of #DisabilityPrideMonth. Our CEO Rachel Kirby-Rider shares her

Join Jasmine, Dan and Farid and email your MP, asking them to vote against changes to disability benefits like Personal Independence Payment later today. 👉 #WelfareBill #PIP.

Today is the start of #DisabilityPrideMonth – the same day MPs will vote on whether to reduce financial support for people with disabilities. Young people Jasmine, Dan and Farid share their message to MPs before the vote later today 👇. #WelfareBill #PIP.

Many young people with cancer rely on PIP to help towards the immediate extra costs of cancer - £700 a month from diagnosis. In today’s @DailyMirror, Daniel, now in remission, shares concerns for what the cuts could mean for young people with cancer:

We attend a variety of political party conferences across the UK to make sure the needs of children and young people with cancer are raised to the highest level.
