- Sports events
... and much more!
Supporting Local Charities
TyneMet ensures that local charities are involved in community events and has supported a number of local charities through fundraising activities and projects with students and local businesses.
The TEENAGE CANCER TRUST is our nominated charity for 2011-12
We know how damaging it is to take a young person away from their normal life – their friends, their environment, and put them in a cancer ward with small children or older people.
We know that young people have a much better chance of survival if they are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. So we’re working every day to make that happen.
We don't believe that teenagers should have to stop being teenagers, just because they have cancer. So we build specialist units in NHS hospitals which improve the quality of life and chances of survival for young people with cancer.
