How Macmillan Cancer Support Makes a Difference

Macmillan provides emotional, psychological and practical support for people living with cancer and their families, and all of our services are funded entirely by the generosity of our supporters. We help people with cancer in a number of different ways including:

• Macmillan Nurses - there are around 2500 Macmillan nurses throughout the UK, specialising in cancer care in hospitals and in the community

• Macmillan Doctors & Other Health Professionals - there are around 350 Macmillan Doctors throughout the UK and also other health professionals such as physiotherapists and occupational therapists. They use their specialist skills and knowledge to improve the treatment and care of people with cancer.

• Patient Grants - A cancer diagnosis can quite often mean a change in financial circumstances. Our patient grants ease financial difficulties that some cancer patients experience because of their illness. The grants help with additional expenses such as higher heating bills, travel to and from hospital, prescription charges, or new clothing if for example cancer treatment has resulted in a significant change in weight. These grants make a huge difference to over 17,000 families every year.

• Macmillan Cancer Care & Treatment Centres - There are over 100 Macmillan Cancer Care & Treatment Centres in the UK. These centres provide bright, warm, supportive and welcoming environments, which patients tell us make a real difference to how they feel when undergoing treatment.

• Information and Support Services - We provide a range of cancer information through our leaflets, cancer information centres and our freephone telephone helpline - the Macmillan CancerLine - which is open from Monday to Friday 9am - 6pm (0808 808 2020).
