    I’m Jess and I am the Campaigns Intern at Macmillan. I joined the team about a month ago and I have been learning all about the different campaigns that Macmillan have; in particular Welfare Reform, Fuel Poverty and Hospital Car Parking.

    Fuel Poverty is a serious issue, 59% of people affected by cancer report using more fuel after they have been diagnosed.
