Macmillan Support Line

We speak your language

We have an interpretation service in over 200 languages. Just state, in English, the language you wish to use when you call us.

Are you deaf or hard of hearing?

If you are a textphone user, you can call the Macmillan Support Line using the Next Generation Text Service (NGT) by dialling 18001 0808 808 00 00.

If you have a computer, tablet or smartphone you can download the NGT Lite app for free. The NGT app works by connecting you to a relay assistant who reads to the other person the words you've typed, and types to you their reply.

For more information about the Next Generation Text Service, how to download the app and how to use it, please visit the Next Generation Text Service website.

If you're calling from outside of the UK you can contact us on +44 207 091 2230. We are unable to advise on healthcare systems overseas.

When the Macmillan Support Line is closed there are other ways you can get the support you need.
