Our organisation was started by a volunteer nearly one hundred years ago, and today they’re still at the very heart of everything we do. Join us and together we can make a difference.

Macmillan works with the NHS and other health and social care partners to improve the lives of people affected by cancer today. In Suffolk there are currently 53 Macmillan health and social care professionals. These include Macmillan nurses, dieticians, radiographers and family support practitioners. They use their expert knowledge to help people understand and manage their symptoms and side effects. To meet the growing need for our services, we aim to provide two additional Macmillan Community Nurses and two Specialist Palliative Care Cancer Nurse Specialists as well as several other healthcare professionals.
People living with cancer tell us that money worries come secondly only to worries about their health. In October 2009, we established a team of three specialist welfare advisers in partnership with Suffolk County Council. Our advisers visit cancer patients in their own homes to help them access the financial help they are entitled to. The team has already helped people living in Suffolk claim over £500,000 in benefits. During 2010 we also provided 242 local people with Macmillan Grants totalling over £80,000. These grants help people cope with the extra costs that living with cancer can bring, including increased heating bills, travel to and from hospital for treatment, and extra bedding.
Macmillan offers a range of information services across Suffolk. At the John Le Vay Cancer Information Centre at Ipswich Hospital a cancer information nurse specialist provides free information, advice and emotional support. The Macmillan Unit at the West Suffolk Hospital includes a drop-in information suite, offering free advice and information materials. And during 2010, our Mobile Information Unit visited several locations across the county giving the public quick and easy access to free cancer information and support.
Every penny we receive takes us closer to our ambition of being able to reach and support everyone affected by cancer both locally and across the UK. You can make a donation online now.|
