Next week is Carers Week, so we’re hosting not one but two webchats for those of you caring for someone with cancer. Caring can by physically, emotionally and financially demanding – and we believe that carers need support, too.

If you provide unpaid support to someone living with cancer, why not join us in the chatroom for one or both of our live webchats?

Or, if you can’t make it, post your question below and I’ll ask it for you.

 Tuesday 19 June, 12.30-1.30pm – Carer wellbeing

When you are caring for someone with cancer, it can take up all of your time and energy. It can be hard to take the time to think about your own needs.

Charlotte Argyle, our Carer Support Manager, and Heidi Lindenstock, a cancer information nurse specialist from our Macmillan Support Line will answer questions on how to get the support you need when caring for someone with cancer.

Friday 22 June, 12.30-1.30pm – Carer benefits

Many people are not aware of the financial support that is available for carers. If you want to know what you’re eligible for, or how to apply, come along and ask our expert benefits advisors Sarah Presto and Linzie Cobb.
