Macmillan Cancer Support in Warwickshire
Around 3,800 people are diagnosed with cancer in Coventry and Warwickshire every year. Macmillan in Coventry and Warwickshire can help by providing practical, medical, emotional and financial support. Thanks to you, people affected by cancer in Coventry and Warwickshire now benefit from over 65 Macmillan health professionals; nurses, doctors and therapists, who are specialists in cancer care.
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:
-
a newly appointed Macmillan dietitian
-
two Macmillan psychologists, helping people with cancer adjust to the new realities of their everyday life
-
special training in palliative care for a Macmillan GP
-
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!
