Beyond Diagnosis: personalised cancer support for the people of Nottinghamshire.
Helping you live your life well after a cancer diagnosis.
Since 2015 Self Help UK, in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support, have been providing support to people living with cancer and those who care about them. Together with our wonderful volunteers, we have supported over 1,700 people individually as well as many others through our support to peer support groups.
Personalised support
We offer a person-centred service, concentrating our support on what matters most to you and helping find solutions that meet your needs. Our service will look different for different people. Some of the ways we can support you:
- General support – preparing for hospital appointments, liaising with clinicians, support with completing forms, advocacy.
- Practical support – support with IT, moving furniture, one-off house clean/garden maintenance, accompanying you to a hospital appointment.
- Emotional support – helping you to reconnect with family and friends, building confidence, listening and providing support.
We provide services in Nottingham City and across most of Nottinghamshire.
