"My mum's being lying to me" We think it's important to be honest with children and young people, even though it's hard, so they can prepare in their own way for what's going to happen - it's also OK to say "I don't know"! #EastEnders

Different school pick ups? Surprise doughnuts? Children can pick up that something's different or wrong, which can cause added stress if they know a loved one has cancer... #EastEnders

Welcome to our #EastEnders tweetalong! This is a big day for Lola and Lexi, and we've been working with scriptwriters to share our experience of how a young person deals with finding out their loved one has a terminal illness.

Great to see @bowelbabe on @BBCBreakfast today, talking about the impact cancer has on the children in the family - a diagnosis is tough for everyone, which is why we're here to support those aged 11-25 across the UK when a loved one is ill! #YoumebigC

Hannah and Ellie came to us when their dad was diagnosed with cancer - sadly, not only did he pass away, they recently lost their mum too. Watch their moving story on @bbcmtd this evening, or see it now: bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng…

We want to say a big thank you to our wonderful Trustees this #TrusteesWeek! Without them giving up their time we wouldn't be where we are today, they make such a huge difference ✨
