Welcome
Cancerbackup Jersey to merge with Macmillan Cancer Support
Cancerbackup Jersey is delighted to announce, with the unanimous agreement of the Committee, that after careful discussion and deliberation and, subject to concluding formal agreements between the two parties, it will merge with Macmillan Cancer Support (one of the largest Cancer Charities in the UK) and the two merged Charities will operate from Cancerbackup Jersey's drop in Centre at the Lido de France, where the staff offer Information, Understanding and Support on all aspects of cancer, not only to patients, but also families, friends and colleagues.. The merger which will be a significant milestone in the history of the charity in Jersey comes a year after Cancerbackup and Macmillan Cancer Support merged in the UK and will ensure that everyone in Jersey who is affected by cancer will get faster and enhanced access to high-quality information at every stage of their cancer journey. Cancerbackup Jersey will continue to operate in exactly the same way in which it has operated within the island for the past 22 years, offering free and confidential information, support and practical advice to people affected by cancer, their families and friends. It also offers a Counselling service and a Prostate Cancer Support Group and will continue to distribute the cancer information booklets free of charge to the Oncology Department and the Breast Cancer Clinic as well as to individuals, upon request.
