Cancer Information and Support

The Lincolnshire Living with Cancer Programme, Macmillan and Connect to Support teams are working together to ensure you can receive localised information and feel supported at the right time, in the right place, by the right people and in the right way. To help you and your loved ones connect with services, we have created a directory of Lincolnshire community services, organisations, resources, support services and groups which can support you living well with and beyond cancer.
