Macmillan Buddies

Going through cancer can be an isolating experience at any time. Our free Macmillan Buddy service (formerly called Telephone Buddies) is here for you.

We'll match you with someone who understands what you're going through, and they'll give you a weekly telephone call or video call, if you prefer.

Your volunteer buddy is there for you. You can talk to them about how you're feeling and your support needs during this difficult time. They can also let you know about our services, and all the ways Macmillan can help, to make sure you don't face cancer alone.

1. You sign up to register your interest.
2. We'll get in touch to find out what support you need.
3. We'll find a Macmillan Buddy who suits your needs.
4. They'll arrange to call you weekly, either by telephone or video call.
