Macmillan benefits service helps patients

Macmillan Benefits Service Advisors in Northern Ireland know just how stressful money worries can be for people living with cancer. So, while face-to-face appointments are not possible during the coronavirus lockdown, Macmillan Advisors have taken positive steps to make sure that they are fully operational from home and able to continue helping people to access much needed financial support by telephone and email.

Liz Kennedy is based in the South Eastern Trust and part of a team of Macmillan Benefits Advisors working across all Health Trusts in Northern Ireland.

Liz said: “Like all Macmillan Advisors, I’m usually office-based. While we’re all following government advice to stay at home during these unprecedented times, we were determined to find a safe way to continue helping people living with cancer, and their family and carers.
