We can help with:

- emotional support as often as you need - no referral or appointment required
- information about money worries, including advice on welfare benefits, grant applications and signposting
- access to local services like support groups, counselling services and wellbeing programmes
- support and advice about palliative care for cancer patients
Please note: we cannot support with housing or social care.
The Macmillan Information and Support Service is a drop-in service, there is no need to book.
We can also provide information and support over the phone and via email.
The centre is open Monday to Friday 10am - 4pm.
