Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries offer a free and confidential service, providing emotional, practical and financial support to anyone who is affected by cancer. So whatever cancer throws your way, we're here for you.

Cancer support and information is now being provided over the phone and in some Glasgow Libraries with weekly drop-in services. We are here for anyone affected by cancer including people living with or beyond cancer, family, friends or carers, and people who are bereaved.

You can find free, expert and easy to understand information on cancer in all Glasgow Libraries. We cover a wide range of topics for people with cancer, their loved ones and carers.

For support, information or just to talk about what you’re going through either in-person or over the phone contact us today on 0141 287 2903 or macmillan@glasgowlife.org.uk.
