Finding out that you or someone close to you has cancer can be a difficult and confusing time. The Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Service is here to help – whether you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, or you’re a family member, carer or friend.
A member of our staff or one of our trained and dedicated volunteers will listen to your worries and concerns and offer free confidential support and advice.
We are able to provide:
Leaflets and booklets on all aspects of living with and beyond cancer
Access to benefits advice and other sources of financial help
Signposting to local services such as counselling, complementary therapies, physical activity programmes and more
Access to practical help such as transport, help at home and travel insurance
An opportunity to discuss work related issues such as finding the words to speak to your employer, understanding your rights at work and what resonable adjustments may enable you to remain in or return to work
Access to support programmes to help you cope with the effects of cancer both during and after treatment e.g. fatigue management workshops
Signposting to family support services
The service provides information and support over the phone or by email for those not able to access the service in person.
Some of our resources are available in different languages and other formats.
