Outreach Services

Health Outreach Project

Hands up, who hasn't experienced stress or worry around issues such as debt, housing, claiming benefits, problems at work or unemployment. The practicalities of day to day living can sometimes be complicated by divorce, redundancy, illness or bereavement. You don't have to cope on your own with these issues.

Problems such as these can have a detrimental effect on your health and wellbeing. Often, the stress will present itself as symptoms which may lead to you seeking the advice from a health professional. Although the symptoms can be dealt with the issue causing the stress in the first place remains.

You can receive free, confidential and impartial advice from experienced Citizens Advice advisers from many Health clinics and Doctors' surgeries. We also run advice sessions in Mental Health settings. A diagnosis of cancer can in particular lead to a multitude of anxiety and stress on the patient and their family. Worries about benefit entitlement, debt problems, loss of employment are common issues with our MacMillan outreach workers. Since July 2008, MacMillan Cancer Support have funded our advice services to cancer patients in hospices and in the clients' own homes.
