Get the support you need

We know that the rising cost of living means people that many people affected by cancer have had tough choices to make. If you are struggling with living costs, you may be able to get help. This may include help with rising household bills including rent, mortgage payments and council tax. You can also talk to one of our financial guides about any money concerns you may have.

Financial guidance (Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm)

Cancer can be tough on your finances. Our financial guides offer personalised support and guidance to help you deal with money worries. They can also explain financial products, so you can best manage your money.

If you need information on benefits and financial support, our welfare rights advisers will make sure you’re not missing out on anything you may be entitled to. They can also help you find out if you’re eligible for alternative sources of support or services.

If cancer is affecting your ability to pay the bills, the energy advice team are here for you. They can check if you’re entitled to any additional support through charitable grants – no matter who supplies your gas, electricity and water.
