Being affected by cancer can be tough on your finances

Macmillan logo

At some point in our lives, many of us have to deal with cancer. Either you’ve been diagnosed, or a family member or friend will suffer from this devastating disease. 

Living with cancer can also be tough on finances. Macmillan found that over four in five (83%) people are financially worse off as a result of a cancer diagnosis. The average impact of those affected was £570 a month.

By providing you with free debt advice, we hope you'll be in a better position to focus on the things that matter most in your life.
