The Citizens Advice BCP Macmillan Benefits team provides advice and support to help you with the financial impact of cancer.

We can give free, impartial and confidential advice and support for people affected by cancer, their families and carers who live in the Poole and Bournemouth area. We currently offer home visits or telephone appointments.

Our specialist team can provide advice on benefits you may be able to claim, employment issues, housing and debt. We can help you fill in applications for benefits and assist with appeals against benefits decisions. We can also help you access charitable grants and one-off payments, including Macmillan grants.

Or you can ask your Macmillan Support Worker or specialist nurse to make a referral to us.
