Frequently asked questions
Your cancer nurse or community nurse can refer you, you can phone us on 0115 911 1661 or email [email protected]. We guarantee we will contact you within 3 weeks of receiving your referral. It is usually earlier than this.
We are Self Help UK. Our service is run in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support. This means our staff are Macmillan professionals and can access training and information from the national charity. We work closely with other Macmillan services locally and nationally to ensure you get the benefit of all Macmillan Cancer Support has to offer.
Our Beyond Diagnosis team run some groups to support people with cancer. You don’t need to be getting support from the Beyond Diagnosis service to access any of these groups.
Self Help UK supports many peer support groups. These groups are run independently. Visit our directory of peer support groups to search for a group near you.
It usually takes 4-6 weeks to complete the volunteer application process. This depends on how long it takes to get your references or when the next training session is planned. Visit our volunteer page for more details.
