CanTeen Ireland is a nationwide support group for young people between the ages of 12 and 25 years who have or have had cancer. We have weekends away, day support meetings and produce a biannual newsletter as well as age appropriate information about cancer.

09/04/2026

We help support hundreds of young people and their families across Ireland navigate cancer treatment, its impact and also recovery from treatment.

Make sure to follow and check out our page to see more of what we do 🎗️

08/04/2026

Meet our members Danny and Daniel who were speaking from our book launch back in November 2025, where our members shared their stories of their cancer journey.

This week and month marks AYA Cancer Awareness 🎗️

Please share so we can spread the word that teens and young people need specific supports both during and after their treatment.

If you are aged 12-25 and have been diagnosed with cancer, just message the page to learn more about how CanTeen can help and support you 🎗️

Day Meeting & Adventure Escape Rooms on Saturday 28th of March 2026 at 11am

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all well and enjoying the lovely sunshine today.... So we are having our next day meeting on Saturday 28th of March 2026 at 11.00am at the Carmichael Centre, North Brunswick St. Dublin 7. D07RHA8. We will have pizza for lunch and are going to the Adventure Rooms, Classic House, Green St. Dublin 7. This is a fun, unique and engaging live escape game for teams large and small. Escape games are a fun way to work together as a team to solve puzzles and escape from a mysterious room within 60 minutes. As a team, use logic and lateral thinking to tackle the tasks at hand with the help of obscure and interesting objects to regain freedom. We will be doing two different escape rooms this time - Lost in Time, Mafia & The Black Queen. For more information check out their website at www.adventurerooms.ie. We will finish at 5.15pm approx so your parents / guardians can collect you at the Adventure Rooms, Classic House, Green St. Dublin 7. D07K76P. As usual a teenage brother/sister or friend can join us.
If everyone could take an Antigen test that morning or the day before that would be very much appreciated!
Can you let me know if you are able to come along before Thursday 26th of March - just email me or text me at 087-2758081?

Looking forward to seeing you all then!

Take care,

Evelyn 🙂x
