Macmillan is working together with Safeena to raise cancer awareness and break down the cultural barriers that can prevent people from getting the help they need.

As part of Macmillan’s commitment to inclusive cancer care for all, we’re proud to partner with Safeena, the first national Muslim cancer charity providing culturally and faith-informed support.

Cancer conversations can be difficult for everyone, and our research shows Muslim communities often face additional barriers.

You can also find a Living with cancer as a South Asian person forum here on the Community, which provides a space for anyone who needs it. It's here for anyone in the South Asian community to connect and chat anonymously about any issues that might be related to your community's culture or religion.

Please do get in touch with the team by email if you would like any help with the Online Community, or finding the right support for you.
