The Centre's telephone helpline is available to provide answers on a whole range of questions about cancer, what resources are available and the Centre's activities. It is open to people locally and nationally.
The helpline is staffed by the Centre's support officers and our Macmillan Cancer Information Officer. The telephone is answered in person on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10.00am-1.00pm and 2.00pm-5.00pm. Messages can be left on an answering machine at all other times - staff will return your call as soon as possible.
We ask that people who use our one-to-one services join the Centre. The current cost of membership is £12 for an individual and £16 for a couple (low income rates - £6 for an individual and £8 for a couple).
People who just want to attend a group don't need to become Centre members but are encouraged to do so.
Before being offered any one-to-one sessions, everyone is asked to come for an initial interview. This gives us an opportunity to find out more about the person, their medical treatment and what they would like from us.It is also an opportunity for the person to find out more about the services we offer and our ethos.
To find out more about using the Centre's services, please ring us on 020 7924 3924.

The Home Visiting Service provides befriending, counselling, healing, massage and reflexology by trained and supervised volunteers for people with cancer who are housebound with cancer or feel too unwell to venture far from home. It is also available to carers who are unable to get out of the house for any length of time.
If you would like a home visiting volunteer to visit you, please contact our Home Visiting Administrator, Mondays and Wednesdays on 020 7924 3924. She will arrange for someone to make an initial visit to discuss your needs and what service you would like to receive.
