What does Macmillan Cancer Support do?
Macmillan has spent more than 100 years helping people living with cancer. From the moment someone is diagnosed with cancer, we're there with all the information, support and guidance they need, to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can.
We know that cancer can disrupt your whole life, and affects everyone differently. Cancer impacts more than your physical health, it can impact relationships, jobs, finances, emotional wellbeing and so much more. It can be made worse simply because of who you are and where you live.
There are almost 3.5 million people living with cancer in the UK. That number is rising and by 2030 this figure will rise to 4 million.
Right now, cancer care isn’t fair across the UK and there are unacceptable differences in the care and support people are getting. Some people aren’t getting the treatment or support they need because it isn't available where they live, or it is only available for certain types of cancer.
We're doing whatever it takes to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are.

A note from our Chief Executive, Gemma Peters
I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Macmillan in 2024. To our supporters, whose unwavering dedication and generosity to raise vital funds for people with cancer, can never be understated.
To our healthcare professionals who go the extra mile day in and day out to provide the very best care and support for people with cancer. And finally, to our colleagues and volunteers, each and every one of whom is so dedicated to doing whatever it takes to meet the needs of people with cancer across the UK.
Thank you for all that you do – we couldn’t continue to do what we do without your support.
