Empowering Patients Through Macmillan Cancer Support

The support line provides assistance and guidance to those with cancer and those directly impacted by a cancer diagnosis. When referred, the individual will receive a direct call from one of the advisors who will assess their needs and offer the relevant support options. Macmillan Cancer Support offers a wide range of services with our partnership making them more accessible to reach:

• Managing Financial Concerns: Coping with the financial pressures of a cancer diagnosis can be challenging. Macmillan's experts provide guidance and support to help individuals navigate this often-overwhelming aspect of their journey.

• Compassionate Support for Emotional Wellbeing: Emotional support is a fundamental part of the cancer care journey. Macmillan's team offers a listening ear, understanding, and guidance to help individuals and their families navigate the emotional challenges they may face.

• Expertise in Welfare Rights: Understanding and accessing the welfare rights and benefits available for individuals with cancer can be complex. Macmillan's team specialises in this field, ensuring that patients receive the financial support they deserve.

In 2022, Macmillan made an enormous impact by:

• Supporting 113,000 individuals through the support line, email, or webchat 
• Delivering money and work support to 44,000 people through their welfare rights, financial guidance, and energy advice team 

While Macmillan Cancer support provides a wide range of services to individuals with cancer and their families, it is important to note that it is not a referral route for local palliative or face to face care.
