Macmillan Community Helpers is a volunteer-led service providing practical and emotional support to cancer patients and their carers.
Volunteers can make a huge difference by providing help tailored to individual needs.
Support could include:
- light housework or gardening
- shopping or running errands
- walking the dog
- having a chat and a cup of tea
- support over the phone
- signposting to other relevant support services.
To use the service, you must be aged over 18, be affected by cancer and have a need for the service (eg. lack of support networks or difficulty coping with practical tasks at home).
Please note, volunteers will not be able to provide assistance with personal care.
