Macmillan Beyond Diagnosis Gateway
Self Help UK in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support have developed a service to provide practical and emotional support to anyone living in Nottingham City, Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, Rushcliffe, Broxtowe or Gedling who is affected by cancer. The service offers support to those who have a cancer diagnosis or carers, family and friends impacted by another's diagnosis.
The Beyond Diagnosis Gateway is there to ensure no-one has to go through a cancer journey alone and can offer a wide range of support including:
- Information, signposting and referral service to following an holistic needs assessment to ensure you get the right help to address a wide variety of needs.
- An emotional support service in which specially trained volunteers can provide a supportive professional friendship. This can help to lesson isolation, increase confidence and provide reassurance at a difficult time.
- Short term or one off practical support, e.g. preparing for or attending a medical appointment, help clearing a room or moving furniture (e.g. to make way for hospital bed or prepare for a visitor), One off house clean/garden maintenance to enable someone to ‘get on top of it’, support with IT (getting onto Zoom, learning how to do on-line shopping).
- Support to explore social activities, volunteering opportunities, self-help groups, education and training etc. for people wanting to find ways of increasing their social lives and natural support mechanisms or engage in their communities.
