We offer a free confidential service to anyone living with cancer, their relatives, friends and carers.

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.
