The King’s Macmillan Information and Support Centre provides a welcoming and confidential drop-in service for anyone affected by cancer.
We can help you with the following:

- Macmillan grant applications
- benefit advice and appointments
- general advice
- signposting to further information
- someone to talk to
You can also find out more information regarding some of the above services on our health and wellbeing information and support page.
