More about Macmillan in Coventry and Warwickshire

Macmillan works with the NHS and other health and social care partners in your area to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. There is a strong team of Macmillan health professionals in Coventry and Warwickshire, all of whom are helping people living with cancer in our hospitals and local community. We need hundreds of thousands of pounds this year to ensure we can pay for:

• money to fund our cancerline, youthline and emotional support services

In 2008 we gave out £101,536 to 260 people across Coventry and Warwickshire. Macmillan believes that no one should be financially deprived as a result of their illness. We do all this thanks to you so please keep helping us to help people affected by cancer!
