Macmillan & Support Centres

Our experienced team of staff and trained volunteers are here to provide the information, practical advice and emotional support that is right for you. We offer a welcoming and informal space because we want you and those close to you to feel listened to, cared for and informed. Whether you’re a patient, family member, friend or carer, we’re here for you at any stage of your experience with cancer. We provide a confidential, informal and non-clinical environment for people to drop in and access a wide range of quality and accurate cancer information which complements information given by health professionals. We are part of the North West Anglia Foundation Trust’s Cancer Wellbeing Service and can talk to you about the range of individual and group support sessions that are available from here and help you to access these.
