Philanthropy
Our dedicated and specialist team works closely with philanthropists, whether they are private individuals, family offices, trusts or foundations, to make a vital and meaningful difference to the lives of people affected by cancer.
Give to something important
Whatever the size of your donation, your generosity will help us to make a real difference to the lives of millions of people affected by cancer.
- Between £200,000 and £600,000 could pay for a new chemotherapy suite in a local hospital.
- £158,159 could pay for a Macmillan nurse for three years, helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical and emotional support. (After that our partner organisations, such as the NHS, continue to fund Macmillan professionals).
- £34,202 could pay for a Macmillan cancer information and support specialist for a year. This would mean more people affected by cancer would have someone to answer their questions and talk to about their concerns.
- £12,115 could operate our phone service for a day. In this time, our cancer support specialists could answer 387 calls and emails from people who want questions answered, need practical or financial support, or just want to chat.
- £4,000 could pay for the translation of one of our cancer publications into Welsh and the redesign of it.
- £1,862 could help run a small Macmillan information and support centre for a week.
