See our article in the Southport Visiter which is about the work of our Centre. Here is a link.

The HOPE course has proved to be an amazing resource for many people who have gone through cancer – it helps them back on track and teaches coping strategies to deal with the legacy that this illness often leaves behind.

During the current crisis, it’s not possible to offer a face to face course, but Macmillan are now offering a digital version – to register, please follow the link on the flyer here

If you’re struggling and need help with shopping or care needs you can register yourself (or a relative, friend or neighbour) on the link below.  This service is for those people who don’t have anyone to help them though, so please only register if you have a genuine need……

Health and Wellbeing Event cancelled

After much thought, it is with regret that we have taken the decision to cancel our Health & Wellbeing Event on Thursday 19^th March 2020.

We would like to reassure everyone that this is purely a precautionary measure and our Macmillan Information and Support Centre is still operating as normal and our support groups are still running as usual:

We acknowledge that this is going against current guidance from NHS England but as the welfare of our service users is paramount to us, we felt we should err on the side of caution and cancel the event at this time.

Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre is open for drop-in at 20, Stanley Street, Southport, from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. Alternatively, you can call us on 01704 533024 or email sfccg.macmillancic@nhs.net
