We give financial support to people affected by cancer, including accessing grants through Macmillan and other local and national organisations.
Every week over 900 people affected by cancer receive a Macmillan Grant. We work with many other organisations who also provide financial help to people living with and beyond cancer. This financial support can help to pay a heating bill, replace a broken essential household item, like washing machines or fridge, it could fund a much needed holidays to aid recovery from cancer treatment or it may pay for an item to aid your wellbeing and comfort. The criteria to access financial support varies and is set by the individual organisation, but it typically depends on the household savings and income and also on your diagnosis. Some organisations will give grants to people who live in a specific area or who have a certain occupation. We can advise you on what you might be entitled to and how to apply. We can also offer advice and support with claiming for travel expenses, help with energy costs and reducing your outgoings.
If you would like help with claiming benefits, financial support or to apply for a grant, pop in to one of our Centres, call, text or email us. No appointment is required.
