Cancer Care Map

Cancer Care Map is an online resource to help people living with cancer find care and support services in their local area, anywhere in the UK. The website is run by cancer charity, The Richard Dimbleby Cancer Fund.

How does it work?

People with cancer, their friends and family and healthcare professionals can search for any cancer-related service, free of charge. A team works to make sure the details are up to date.

Why is it needed?

There are services supporting people with cancer around the UK but it can be hard to find out about them, and online information is often out of date. The aim is to make sure that no one goes unsupported because they are not aware of a service in their local area.

What services are included?

There is a huge of range of cancer-related support across the UK, run by charities, NHS organisations, community groups and some small practices or private companies. This takes many forms, including:

  • information and advice
  • counselling and emotional support
  • coping with anxiety
  • specialist massage
  • transport to appointments
  • hairdressers and wig fitters
  • health and fitness
  • nutrition and wellbeing
  • financial advice
