Information and support
The Information and Support Centres in Liverpool, Wirral and Aintree have a library of free cancer information for you to explore. You do not need an appointment, you can just drop in to the centre and browse through the information. You may wish to get advice from the Macmillan experts who are on-hand to support you to find the right information.
There are free booklets and flyers covering many topics, including:
- Cancer types and treatments
- Emotional wellbeing
- Staying physically active
- Carers, relatives and friends
- Finance, work and travel
- Life after cancer treatment
- Local service and support groups
We are happy to signpost you to other sources of information and support or help you with an internet search if we don’t have what you need.
Support
We understand that being affected by cancer can cause a range of emotions and feelings. Whether you’re a patient or a relative, friend or carer, we’re here to support you or talk things through.
We are a team of one specialist health professional and two trained information and support assistants who provide individual support, information and practical advice that’s right for you.
We want you and those around you to feel listened to, and to be understood and informed. You can talk to us in confidence about anything you may be worried about or need information on, from coping with your own feelings and emotions, and signpost or refer you for financial help. If you need a private space, this is available.
