DONATE TO SUPPORT RANGATAHI IMPACTED
BY CANCER
DONATE TODAY
Your donation helps ensure rangatahi don't have to face cancer alone
Around 4,200 rangatahi are impacted by cancer every year in Aotearoa. Canteen is the only national charity dedicated to supporting rangatahi aged 12-24 impacted by cancer, whether through their own diagnosis, cancer in their whānau, or grief and loss.
Canteen provides free, evidence-based psychosocial support services that focus on the long-term emotional and social wellbeing of rangatahi. These services include counselling, peer events, therapeutic programmes, camps, leadership skills, development grants, and career guidance.
We receive no direct government funding and relies entirely on the generosity of our community to fund these vital support services.
Donate today to help provide rangatahi access to:
Therapeutic Check-in
Buy a one-on-one check-in with a Canteen Youth Worker, giving a rangatahi space to talk, reflect, and feel supported.
Peer Connection
Give rangatahi the chance to connect at peer events - where they can share experiences and feel understood.
Day of connection
Fund a place at a large-full day peer event, giving a rangatahi the chance to connect, have fun, and feel less alone.

RANGATAHI LIKE LUCY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FACE CANCER ALONE
Since her first diagnosis, she’s faced four separate battles, with surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation and the emotional strain that comes with it.
Through every stage of her journey, Canteen gave her something life-changing: a place where she felt understood, connected and supported.
Canteen's camps, peer events and therapeutic counselling helped her hold onto a sense of normal life when everything else felt out of control. "I simply could not have got through this without that support", says Lucy.
