Macmillan grants are means-tested, one-off payments of £350 aimed at helping people living with cancer on low incomes. They can be a huge help especially when many cancer patients are having to shield during the current lockdown by paying for things like a new washing machine or going towards energy bills.

In Causeway Coast & Glens the highest number of grants were given to people living with respiratory cancer.

If you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with cancer, the Macmillan Benefits Service can help. To find out more, call 0300 1 233 233 or email: [email protected]
