Virtual Cuppa
These are friendly and informal online gatherings where current/former patients and their families and carers can connect and talk with others.
The virtual cuppa sessions are helpful for talking to other people in similar situations and made me feel less alone and not as overwhelmed. It's a safe space to just be yourself with no judgement - virtual cuppa attendee, 2026

Teenage and Young Adult Peer Support
We're trialling a new peer support group for young people aged 16 to 25 affected by primary bone cancer and/or bone tumours.
These informal online sessions (similar to our 'virtual Cuppas', as above) provide a safe and welcoming space to connect with others who understand. Whether you are in treatment, in remission, a long term survivor - or see yourself as someone between or beyond those labels, then this is a space for you.
The group is facilitated by young adults with lived experience, alongside Ruby and Grace from our Support & Information Team. We first came together in July 2026 to mark Sarcoma Awareness Month. You can meet Lewis, one of our facilitators, in the video below. We'll be running these sessions throughout the year, with our next session on the 13th October.
Our next session
- When: Tuesday evening (13th October).
- Time: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm (BST), with a short break.
- Where: Online via Zoom (link to be provided ahead of session)
- What to expect? Teenage and Young Adult speakers, meet other young people affected by bone cancer or bone tumours, time to chat, ask questions, share experiences, introductions and gentle activities. We will be sending out cookie decorating kits for everyone to use during the call on the 13th, so sign up as soon as possible for the 13th so we can send your kit out to you!
- What will we be chatting about? Each session will be guided by what people feel comfortable talking about, but to give you some expectations for the sessions here are some topics that we may cover: education, work, friendships and relationships, wellbeing, adapting to change and life during and after treatment or cancer.
The guest speakers were amazing and the whole session made me feel connected and less alone in facing the barriers and struggles caused by having a primary bone cancer diagnosis as a young person - attendee from July 2026
