Macmillan Money & More South West
Nearly all cancer patients suffer some loss of income or increased expenditure as a result of their diagnosis which can make this difficult time even more stressful.
Our specialist caseworkers can help clients with establishing what financial and other support they might be eligible for.
Macmillan Cancer Support and Citizens Advice partners are working together to deliver a dedicated welfare benefits advice service aimed at supporting people affected by cancer. Led by Citizens Advice Bristol, nine delivery partners including B&NES, Bristol, Gloucester, North Somerset, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Swindon, Reading and Wiltshire are working together to respond to all referrals we receive.
How to get advice?
