A team to support people with cancer and their loved ones will be hopping on a bus on September 25 to promote the services on offer, including a benefits advisor funded by Macmillan.

The Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Service, run by Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust (RDaSH), will be on the health bus at Clock Corner in Doncaster City Centre from 9.30am until 3.30pm.

Anyone with cancer, their families and friends, or anyone with a question about cancer and the services and support on offer are invited to jump on board.

On average, around 1,940 people are diagnosed with cancer each year in Doncaster, but thanks to the fantastic support and generosity of the public through events like Coffee Morning, Macmillan can continue to be there for them.

Jo O’Marr, Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Service Lead, said: “If you have a cancer diagnosis, or you are family and friends of someone who has cancer and you’ve a question, please call in and see us.

“We will be with a range of partner organisations and can offer support around the diagnosis, the support on offer including financial, and much more.”
