Our Macmillan Buddies are part of an innovative new volunteering service provided by Blackpool Teaching Hospitals.

Going through cancer can be an isolating experience at any time. Our free Macmillan Buddy service is here for you. We'll match you with someone who understands what you're going through, and they'll give you a weekly telephone call, or meet you in a mutually agreed place. Your volunteer buddy will be a listening ear, ready to talk about how you're feeling and your support needs during this difficult time. They can also let you know about our services, and all the ways Macmillan can help, to make sure you don't face cancer alone.

In partnership with the Macmillan Windmill Unit, the  Macmillan Buddy Service aims to offer support and guidance for those who care for someone with cancer.
