Macmillan Care Grants: Financial Support for People Living With Cancer

Macmillan Cancer Support continues to stand beside people affected by cancer by offering practical, emotional, and financial help when it’s needed most. One of the ways they do this is through Macmillan Care Grants—small, one-off payments designed to ease the immediate pressures that come with a cancer diagnosis.

These grants can help with essential costs such as:

• Travel to and from hospital appointments
• Extra heating expenses
• Bedding, clothing, or household items
• Other practical needs that improve day-to-day comfort and wellbeing

For many individuals and families, a Macmillan Care Grant provides vital breathing space during an incredibly challenging time.

Who Can Apply?

Macmillan Care Grants are available to people living with cancer who meet certain eligibility criteria, including financial need. Health and social care professionals can also help applicants access the support.

Why This Matters

The rising cost of living, combined with the financial impact of cancer treatment, means that many people are facing additional hardship at a time when they should be focusing on their health. These grants help to reduce some of that stress and ensure people can maintain dignity and comfort throughout their cancer journey.
