You aren't alone. Whether you've been diagnosed with cancer, or know someone who has been, we have a variety of practical and emotional services to help you along the way. Find out more about cancer support services around the country, our one-to-one support or our counselling services.

We'll help you to deal with life during and after treatment, including how to talk to loved ones about your illness, managing side effects like fatigue or hair loss and managing money.

Take the stress out of travelling to treatment. Our trained drivers in the Care to Drive programme can give you a lift, or we can help you with the costs of public transport through our Travel2Care scheme.
Our nurses can help you when and where you need them.
If cancer is a big financial burden, we may be able to provide you with financial assistance. Find out who this special grant is for and how to apply.
Find support groups and services in your area. We have something going on almost everywhere.

If you're looking for cancer information, support and advice within your hospital, you can turn to our Daffodil Centres.
Take advantage of our one-to-one support programme, where you'll receive emotional and practical support from a person who's dealt with a cancer diagnosis themselves.

heartening to meet a survivor and see how well she looked
