Macmillan Cancer Support and the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust work together to bring you the Macmillan Information and Support Service.

Our friendly Macmillan team and trained volunteers are here to help you. If you have cancer yourself, care for a friend or relative, work as a health professional or want to know more about cancer, we are here for you.

We know that cancer can turn your life upside down, but you are more than your diagnosis. We treat you as a person and offer you a calming and confidential space to receive one-to-one support.

You can access our drop-in services without a referral or appointment. If you are making a special journey to see us, we suggest you book an appointment. You can phone, email or text us.
