MacMillan Cancer Support was set up in 1911 by Douglas Macmillan - a young man who had watched his father die of cancer.

His father's pain and suffering moved Douglas so much, he founded the Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer which has grown and developed in to the support charity recognised today.

Right now, more than 3 million people are living with cancer in the UK. By 2030 this figure will rise to 4 million and MacMillan Cancer Support is here to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can, by providing physical, financial and emotional support.

The charity will do whatever it takes, no matter what a person's needs are, we will listen and support them however they need us to — big or small.
