Campaigns and services


There are 2 million people living with or beyond cancer in the UK.
Find out how Macmillan is helping to support these people in Scotland and view our new survivorship publication Two million reasons.

Macmillan's Working Through Cancer campaign generated considerable interest when it launched late last year. The campaign, aimed at improving the support and information for workers with a cancer diagnosis, is still ongoing.  We also have information and advice for employers on how to support a staff member with cancer. Information is available from www.macmillan.org.uk/work or by telephoning: 08000 898 500 (freephone).

Before Christmas the SNP Government announced that prescription charges will be phased out from April 2008 and abolished in 2011. This announcement comes after a highly effective campaign from Macmillan to have prescription charges abolished for people with cancer.
Last year we raised £4.4 million in Scotland from donations and our fundraising events include the World's Biggest Coffee Morning, the Big Fish and Conquer a Corbett. This year we need to raise even more to keep up with huge demand for our services, so get in touch if you'd like to get involved.
