Practical Support

Whilst CancerCare’s therapeutic and other support work is intended to meet many of the needs of people facing a diagnosis of cancer we are also aware of many of the practical needs that can arise We are always willing to be as helpful as possible to meet anyone’s needs and, in particular, are pleased to offer the following regular services to assist with some areas of popular demand.

Information and Literature

We aim to offer information in a variety of formats on all aspects of cancer and its treatment, as well as books and journals in which people have shared their own experiences of the cancer journey.

Transport

Our volunteer drivers can provide transport to therapies and, where necessary, medical appointments for patients unable, or not well enough to make their own arrangements.

Legal/Financial Advice Service

An initial consultation is available free of charge with a local Solicitor or Financial Advisor to help people address any issue they may have and decide how they may wish to proceed.
