TOPS (Teenage Oncology Patient Support)

TOPS is a free service for 12 to 21 year olds who have cancer or have been treaded for cancer.

It is South West based but has a communications network across the UK.

TOPS arranges an annual residential holiday every summer where members get involved in a wide variety of physical activities from canoeing and tree climbing to horse-riding, without feeling self-conscious or restrained.

TOPS also organises regular weekend trips and day outings to offer members a diversion from regular routines and the strains of dealing with an illness.

The trips and breaks are a fantastic opportunity for members to meet new friends or catch up with old ones, TOPS encourages the development of unique friendships that can provide invaluable support and advice.
