Support line brings light to people in dark times

The line, which is staffed by specialist cancer nurses who can answer questions and offer support, took more than 100,000 enquiries from people affected by cancer last year.

Karen Shortt, Warwickshire fundraising manager for Macmillan, said: “We know most people feel overwhelmed when they are told that they have cancer. “Cancer’s a tough journey, that’s why the Macmillan team are here to support you every step of the way, offering specialist information, emotional and practical support via our support line, local information centres, nurses and website.”

The Rotary Club of Royal Leamington Spa’s campaign gives people the opportunity to make a donation to Macmillan and to dedicate a light to a loved one on trees outside Leamington town hall or St Margaret’s church in Whitnash.

Dedications and donations can be made using the form (right) and delivering it to the town hall or Whitnash Town Council’s office in Franklin Road.
