Cancer support groups

Find support from others near you

Macmillan supports over 900 independent cancer support groups and organisations across the UK, giving you an opportunity to talk to people who understand what you're going through. 

By joining a cancer support group you can spend time with people who share or understand your experience. It’s an opportunity for you to talk about your deepest concerns, and know they will be met with acceptance and understanding. This simple act of sharing can make an enormous difference to the way you feel. 

 

If you want to find a support group|

You can search by selecting your county to see all the groups in your area, or narrow your search by using a town, postcode or specific keywords, eg: 'breast', 'bowel' or 'complementary therapy'.
