What's new on Share

Lifemap

We've just added the Macmillan Lifemap, where you’ll be able to post photos, stories, poems and memories to share with other members of What Now? and Share. You’ll also be able to see what other members have added around the country, to show that some days it's not just about cancer ... it's about life. Tell us what you think about the Lifemap in our new Lifemap group.

Groups

Our new Groups feature has been growing by the day, and there are plenty of groups to join, based on your experience or what interests you. Groups can have their own photo, notice board and discussion forums, and are a great place to talk to other people in the same situation. Search for a group.
