Macmillan Solutions aims to help people affected by cancer to find answers to their everyday needs. Macmillan Solutions volunteers are vital to the success of the project. They provide services to people affected by cancer in their own home and can be called upon to perform a wide variety of tasks, both practical and emotional. Because the Macmillan Solutions aims to meet needs identified by those
it supports, there is no specific list of activities, however they are likely to be one of the following:
• Practical support – eg gardening, dog walking, cleaning, shopping, transport to appointments etc
• Befriending – a ‘listening ear’ or buddy
What are our goals?
• To provide people affected by cancer with the type of practical support they require at the time they need it.
• To raise awareness of the services that Macmillan Cancer Support and Macmillan Solutions provide. Macmillan Solutions is based at three locations around Manchester these are
- Audacious Church
- Northmoor Community Association
- Wai Yin Chinese Society
If you are interested in volunteering with us or would like more information about the service we provide please contact us.
