Three scenes from a Macmillan Cancer Support Open House event: a person speaking into a microphone during a discussion, two people warmly embracing in front of a green wall with the Macmillan Cancer Support Open House logo, and a person seated at a table with informational materials and a coffee cup.

Macmillan Open House

Our space to talk about cancer, culture, and everything in between. Cancer can disrupt your whole life. And it can be made much worse simply because of who you are or where you live. No one’s experience of cancer is the same, that’s why we’re here, doing whatever it takes to ensure you get access to the right cancer support for your needs.

Whoever You Are, Whatever It Takes

Macmillan Open House is our space-co-created with Black and South Asian communities to talk about cancer, culture, and everything in between. 

But Macmillan Open House isn’t just about talking, it’s about listening, learning, and being seen. A community-led space where everyone’s voice matters, where you can find advice, support, and services that truly make a difference.
