The East of England Cancer Alliance’s Patient Partnership Group would like to invite you to attend their online events.
The patient group have all experienced cancer themselves, or cared for someone with cancer, and are putting on a series of talks and information sessions designed to raise awareness and give people an opportunity to ask any questions of our expert speakers or experienced patients. We hope that you can join us.
Let's Talk About Cancer - money, work and benefits
Our next Let's talk About Cancer event will take place on 23 October from 6.30pm to 7.30pm.
Join us for an online event to learn more about the financial aspects and implications of cancer - money, work, and benefits. We will hear from Jo Bowen from the Macmillan Welfare Benefits Team about some of the financial aspects of having cancer. Worries about money and work are very common for people affected by cancer, whether that is paying your bills, returning to work, sick pay entitlements, applying for a Blue Badge, or any benefits you may be entitled to. Jo will share information and signpost you to further support on this often-challenging aspect of having cancer or supporting someone with cancer. We will also hear from a member of the public about their experiences.
