Macmillan Cancer Support

If you’re affected by cancer, we offer high quality information and support to help you understand and manage your condition, signposting to other services, access to benefits and financial advice by specialist advisers and a confidential listening ear in a calm and relaxing environment.

Cancer is the toughest fight most of us will ever face. But you don’t have to go through it alone. The Macmillan team is in your corner. We are the nurses helping you through treatment. The experts on the end of the phone who can answer your questions. The advisers telling you which benefits you’re entitled to. We are Macmillan Cancer Support and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
