The CancerHelp team works closely with other organisations providing cancer services, including the NHS and other charities to ensure clients get the best support possible.
Our bases are in Preston and Garstang but the services are open to all cancer patients, their families and carers living in the Central Lancashire area and the Wyre villages around Garstang.
Like cancer, the charity makes no distinction between age, gender, religion or sexual orientation or identity.
If you live in one of the following Postcode areas then CancerHelp may be able to support you:
PR1, PR2, PR3, PR4, PR5, PR6, PR7, PR25, PR26
Accessing CancerHelp's services start with a referral. This can be from a Clinical Nurse or GP who is part of your healthcare team or from the Macmillan Team at Preston or Chorley Hospital who may have seen you.

Cancer Help aims to support cancer patients, their families and carers through the impact of cancer diagnosis, the effects of the disease and the effects of its treatment. To do so the charity offers a wide range of free services from simple advice and signposting to complementary therapies.
Both houses aim to offer services in a non-clinical environment, so that clients can feel that the house is a 'home from home'.
A variety of adult therapies available to clients and their families
Complementary Therapies - Specialist therapies that complement conventional medical treatments
Children & Young People's Services - Individual and group therapy for those with cancer or who have a relative dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Includes bereavement therapy.
Information and Support
Our Support Groups are run independently by those who have experienced or are living with cancer. They are hosted by CancerHelp and the charity aims to provide advice and information when members request it.
