IF YOU have cancer and are struggling with your heating bills, Macmillan Cancer Support and npower might be able to help.

If you have cancer, or have had a diagnosis in the past, you’ll know just how common it is to feel the cold more as you go through treatment. Whether it is because of weight and hair loss, a lack of appetite, or reduced energy levels and circulation problems, many cancer patients are forced to put their heating on more than usual.

For many, this is an extra expense they cannot afford, especially when they are not working and their income is reduced.

At Macmillan, we work to raise awareness of the hidden and often unexpected financial impacts of cancer.

As part of that, we are working with npower to help people living with cancer keep warm without worrying about the cost.

If you’re living with cancer and struggling to pay your energy bills, visit macmillan.org.uk/keepwarm to find out how we can help.

If you or anyone you know has cancer and needs advice, you can also call our Support Line for free on 0808 808 0000 (Monday-Friday from 9am to 8pm).
