Why is the Macmillan Support Line so vital?

Meet Akbal


Help me do whatever it takes.

No one should have to feel like they're alone when they're waiting for treatment. That's why advisors like me help over 9,000 people a year* cope with the emotional consequences of living with cancer.

Gemma's story


Macmillan Support Line advisor.

Cancer doesn't stop for Christmas. That's why advisors like me need to be there every day of the year from 8am to 8pm to make sure we can support everyone who needs us. I spent last Christmas Day explaining a complex cancer treatment in plain English. Donate now so I can be there again.
