People affected by cancer (posed by models)

Freeze out fuel poverty

"I'm already wearing two pairs of trousers, two jumpers and a woolly hat indoors. Sometimes, I go to bed during the day rather than put the heating on."

George, 59

Macmillan campaigns for a better deal for people affected by cancer. We want everyone with cancer to receive the right level of treatment and support, regardless of who they are and where they live.

We want the NHS and benefits system to consider the specific needs of cancer patients, so that they do not have to personally bear the costs of their treatment. We want the health service and social care services to treat the person, not just the disease, and we want cancer treatment and care to remain a priority for the Government.

Whether they focus on raising public awareness, involve working with politicians, government officials or other decision makers, all our campaigns have one common goal – to make a positive and permanent change to the lives of people affected by cancer.
