On #CharityTuesday, we are paying tribute to organisations acting as a lifeline for children and adults with cancer.

Thank you to every single charity supporting those with a long-term illness, many of whom are facing the challenge of shielding away from their families.

Cancer charities are offering advice and mental health support to help people manage day-to-day.

The Queen is Patron of @CR_UK, whose Coronavirus and Cancer blog provides rolling updates.

Her Majesty opened the charity’s Cambridge Research Institute in 2007.

Many cancer charities are encouraging people undergoing or in need of treatment to continue seeking it.

The Duke of Kent is Patron of @BloodCancer_UK who are encouraging patients to keep up with their regular hospital visits wherever possible. https://twitter.com/bloodcancer_uk/status/1261205192168611841

@ProstateUK are also providing a platform for people to share coping strategies.

Lloyd, who is shielding away from his family, talks about the “relief” of having social media to turn to.

The Duchess of Gloucester has been Patron of @ProstateUK since 2003. #CharityTuesday https://twitter.com/ProstateUK/status/1263847837671940097
