Celebrating 10 years of Beyond Diagnosis
Our Macmillan Beyond Diagnosis service in Nottingham was proud to celebrate its 10th anniversary recently, marking a decade of providing vital, person-centred support to thousands of individuals and their families affected by cancer across Nottinghamshire. Delivered in partnership with Self Help UK, this pioneering service has been a lifeline for those navigating the complex journey of living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis. Since its inception in summer 2015, the Macmillan Beyond Diagnosis service has focused on the often-overlooked period after initial treatment, where practical, emotional, and social challenges can significantly impact quality of life. The service offers tailored support that empowers individuals to regain control and live life as fully as possible. Read more.

Braving the Shave
We were recently contacted by a member of the Deaf Community, Katie. In memory of her mum and her friend’s mum, who both sadly passed away from cancer, Katie has made the brave decision to shave her head on 1st August to raise money for our Deaf Cancer Support project. You can watch Katie’s Facebook vlog here and sponsor Katie here.
