Put simply, our mission is to make both musical and medical history.

We’re a charity dedicated to making a difference to people suffering from cancer, both in the UK and around the world. To raise funds we bring together like minded artists to create one off concerts, featuring living legends and new talent alike to perform rarely seen sets and unique collaborations.

The money raised then goes towards cancer research and support groups, and raising awareness of the need for early detection of the disease.

The charity was set up in 2005 by ex Smiths bassist Andy Rourke and Nova Rehman after Nova’s father and sister were diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully his father has now made a full recovery, though sadly in August 2006 Nina lost her battle with the disease. She remains our inspiration and the concerts are in tribute to her.

So far we've staged three historical concerts and have raised £1/4 million from our March 07 concert alone. We've seen one off performances from the likes of Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, New Order, Ian Brown, The Happy Mondays, The Fun Lovin Criminals, The Enemy and The Fratelli's and have instigated partial Smiths and Stone Roses reunions. But we're not going to stop there. With our 2008/9 programme of events we're aiming to get past the £1 million mark and make even more of a difference.

We bring together like minded artists to create one off concerts, featuring living legends and new talent alike to perform rarely seen sets and unique collaborations.

Hi – We provide therapeutic breaks/holidays for teenagers and young adults (14 to 30) with cancer from anywhere in the UK or Irish Republic. The holidays take place in Bournemouth and YCT pays for all costs even travel. Cancer patients can bring a friend or sibling for free. It’s all about having fun and doing stuff like horse riding and water sports. If you know anyone who might benefit from one of our holidays please pass on our contact details – admin@yct.org.uk www.yct.org.uk
Thank you
Georgina YCT :)
