Horizon Connect - video sessions
Horizon Connect is an online support group facilitated by the Macmillan Horizon Centre. You can join for virtual ‘face-to-face’ video meetings with others. It allows you to talk with those in similar positions and can provide both support and practical hints and tips.
The sessions are free and run every Friday at 10.30am for 45 minutes.
To join these sessions, or if you have any more questions, e-mail horizoncentre@macmillan.org.uk and we will email you back with instructions on how to join.
Support over the phone
Call the Macmillan Horizon Centre for regular phone-based support or just call us for a one-off chat. You can phone us on 01273 468770 between 9am and 4pm.

Follow up calls will be carried out by our wonderful Macmillan Horizon Centre Information & Support Volunteers.
