Macmillan Cancer Support is here to listen, support you through treatment, and help with money. We fundraise so we can do whatever it takes.

Core values

- **Improving End-of-Life Care**: Macmillan's use of social impact bonds to improve end-of-life care has supported over 10,000 people, focusing on outcomes such as being cared for or dying at home instead of in hospital, which addresses a critical societal need[1][5].
- **Financial Support**: Macmillan identified £451 million in financial gains for people with cancer in 2023, significantly reducing financial burdens and improving quality of life[3].
- **Psychological and Emotional Support**: Their services promote self-management, reduce depression and anxiety, and potentially increase survival rates. These services also save money for health and social care providers and benefit the wider community by enabling patients to return to work and social activities[4].
- **Campaigning for Better Care**: Macmillan's advocacy campaigns have highlighted and addressed inequalities in cancer care, pushing for policy changes to reduce cancer waiting times and improve overall care[3].
