Macmillan cancer information support service

The Macmillan cancer information support service at our Trust offers emotional, practical and financial support and information to anyone affected by cancer.

The team are here to listen and support you, whether you have a specific question, or are unsure about what you even want to say. The team will take the time to get to know you to find out what really matters to you and get you the right cancer support.

You can access face-to-face support in one of our two centres, or speak with the team via phone or email. You don’t need an appointment and you are welcome to speak to the team as many times as you need – whether it’s a one-off chat or an ongoing conversation.  

The service also runs a range of weekly online patient groups, which offer the chance to talk to other patients about cancer in a relaxed environment. There is no commitment to join every week – you can pop in and out as suits your schedule.   

The Macmillan benefits adviser can also offer you tailored advice on additional financial support and grants which may be available. 

The service is open Monday through Thursday, excluding bank holidays.  

Our centres are located in:

• Charing Cross Hospital, by the main lifts
• Hammersmith Hospital, in the Garry Weston centre
