This years National Bandanna Day is Friday 28th October 2022

The Enablis team is proud to support Canteen Australia and Bandanna Day on Friday the 28^th October selling bandanna's throughout Sydney. This year Canteen are running a number of great initiatives to support young Australians affected by Cancer.

Did you know that National Bandanna Day is held on the last Friday in October and is the flagship fundraising and awareness campaign for Canteen?

Since Bandanna Day began it has raised more than $35 million to support young people impacted by cancer.

With community support, funds raised from Bandanna Day will help young people impacted by cancer get access to:

Counselling and individual support: Canteen counsellors are specially trained to understand the challenges cancer brings. Young people can share thoughts or feelings that other people in their lives might not be able to relate to.
Youth Cancer Services: Youth Cancer Services provide world-leading, specialist, age-appropriate treatment and support for young cancer patients aged 15-25. Around 70% of all newly diagnosed young cancer patients are supported by Canteen's Youth Cancer Services.
Peer support and programs: Life can feel pretty lonely when you’re trying to deal with cancer. Through Canteen, young people can meet other young people living with cancer who totally get what they’re going through.
Canteen Connect: An online community for young people (aged 12-25) who are dealing with their own diagnosis, a close family member’s cancer or the death of a loved one. Through Canteen Connect, young people and parents can connect with others in a similar situation, share their experiences and chat to a Canteen counsellor.
Leadership: Each year young people at Canteen are offered a range of opportunities to develop their leadership potential. Ultimately, we are investing in young people’s power and positive influence in their lives, communities and world.
Robots Project: Designed to help cancer patients stay connected to their school and friend networks- our robots use video conferencing technology to allow young people to remotely attend classes and engage with friends. Our robot enables a young cancer patient to keep up with their daily lives, achieve a sense of normality, and lower their feelings of isolation.
