Northcote College Bake N' Shave

This year Northcote College will be doing the annual Bake N Shave on the 5th July. In this event, students will be selling Baked goods and volunteering to get their head shaved in order to raise money for the CanTeen foundation. This organisation raises Money so they can help young people that are affected by Cancer by offering them support and tools for dealing with everyday struggles.

All Proceeds from this Givealittle will go to CanTeen New Zealand.

More information about Canteen - The New Zealand Organisation For Young People Living With Cancer: CanTeen continued to fund the delivery of a national program of state-wide youth cancer services based in hospitals and which provide specialist treatment and support for all young cancer patients across New Zealand. The highly innovative CanTeen Online Support Platform continued to provide access to professional counselling 7 days per week over extended hours as well as peer support 24/7. Young people living with cancer are also supported by our face to face services in each state and territory where their individual needs are identified and support plans developed and enacted. CanTeen’s face to face services includes social workers, counsellors and youth workers providing a range of support and programs to help young people meet their needs. The organisation also continued to provide psychosocial programs which facilitate skill development and peer support to help young people deal with the impact of cancer on their life. In addition, a program aimed at creating more supportive school communities for YPLWC by educating students and teachers about the challenges of dealing with cancer was also developed. All the support that CanTeen provides is evidence-based and is guided by our internationally regarded research and evaluation unit. The Now What books provide information to help YPLWC deal with the impact of cancer. These continue to be very popular with e-book versions developed as well as continuing to send out thousands of hard copies free of charge. Further opportunities for detailed information on cancer are available through canteen.org.au. Our young leaders have been empowered through a significant investment in leadership and company director training
