Macmillan Benefits Advice Service Coventry and Warwickshire
Coventry / coventrycab.org.uk
Living with cancer can be tough on your finances. You might not be able to earn in the same way. You’ll probably spend more on everyday costs like heating and getting around. And it’s hard knowing how to plan ahead. Too often, money worries just get out of control. But we’re here to help. Our benefits advisers can support you by working out the financial help you may be entitled to and helping you to access it. They have specialist knowledge of welfare benefits, tax credits and grants and can offer you up-to-date, invaluable advice. Working in partnership with Coventry Citizens Advice, we provide free telephone and digital benefits advice to people affected by cancer, including carers and families. We can: provide advice on what benefits you could claim if you cannot work, if you are experiencing health problems as a result of treatment, or if you have a low or reduced income; help you with applications for benefit – making calls or filling in forms; help you apply for one-off grants, eg to help with fuel costs, to pay for a convalescent holiday or a new household item; assist you with appealing against decisions on your benefit entitlement; refer you to other support with debt, housing, employment and pensions.

Our activities are suitable for everyone, regardless of where you are in your cancer journey.

Taking part in physical activity during and after cancer treatment can play a huge part in enabling you to take back control. It can help you prevent and manage some of the effects of treatment, such as fatigue, depression and risks to your heart health. And lots of people tell us that it helps them to feel more like their old self. What’s more, Move More Inverclyde classes are open to everyone, whether you’re going through treatment or have long finished. You can even bring along a friend or relative to some activities.

Macmillan Support Services include an Information and Support service, a Befriending Service and offer Bereavement support to people by any cause of death. All services are accessible to adults affected by cancer or a life limiting illness, including carer’s living in North Tyneside. Anyone may contact the service for information. We also provide a range of groups and events. These include a Drop In, Health and Wellbeing sessions, Living well with Cancer course, HOPE course, Walk and Talk groups and Craft Groups. For Befriending or Bereavement Support a referral from a health professional is required. On receipt of the referral a member of the team will visit the person within their own home. They will then identify the most appropriate support based on their individual needs at the time of the visit. Each person who would benefit from someone to talk to on a one to one basis will be allocated an appropriately trained and supervised volunteer. Volunteers offer a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental relationship, which can assist the person through a difficult time.

We will engage with Eastern European cancer patients & their carers who are isolated and don’t access services available locally due to language and cultural barrier. We aim to bring professionals from Health & social care to the groups meetings and using multilingual facilitators to get the message across. Volunteer’s expenses will be used for trips to other groups where they can learn from each other. Leaflets and posters will also be produced in both English and East European languages regarding the content of each of the sessions and information about how they can attend.
