We're at Liberal Democrat conference this weekend, sharing more about the impacts of cancer on children and young people.

By the end of conference, 48 children and young people will have heard the words "you have cancer" and they deserve a system that supports their needs. #LDconf

It was great to see the Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer note the upcoming Travel Fund for children and young people with cancer in England in Prime Minister's Questions yesterday, following a question from @CliveJonesMP.

We look forward to the Travel Fund opening for children and young people with cancer in England by 2027.

Thank you Clive for always being an advocate for people facing cancer, including through your Private Members' Bill.
