Online Support – accessible 24/7
This is where it all started. Our comprehensive directory includes over 400 local and national support services available to cancer patients and those affected. The variety of support varies from finance and legal to hair loss and emotional support.
We understand that no two journeys are the same and so are committed to keeping our directory with up to date, relevant listings that are not always easy to find – especially when you may have so much other things going on.
Our phoneline – 1:1 support
Many people affected by cancer just want somebody to talk to, and that’s where our phone line comes in. Between the hours of 10am – 1pm, Monday – Friday our service support officers are on hand to answer your call, offering personal support and guidance.
In-person – connect at an event
In addition to our phoneline, we are also involved in a range of community activity such as visits to hospitals, attending conferences and even hosting our own free health and well-being events.
Comfort Boxes – bringing support to you
Our free cancer Comfort Box has been thoughtfully created with patients, bringing together a selection of practical and comforting items to support you through your experience with cancer. Each box is a reminder that you are cared for, supported and part of a community that is here for you.
NHS Approved and Trusted
We are proud to be recognised by the NHS as a trusted source of information for cancer patients in Scotland. Cancer Card is NHS Approved and takes its place on the NHS inform website, Scotland's national health information service. This recognition is a testament to the quality and reliability of our support directory and the vital role it plays in connecting you to the help you need.
