Alliance UniChem has donated £50,000 to Macmillan Cancer Support to help fund the
Mobile Macmillan Cancer Information Centre tour, which takes Macmillan’s information
and support services to high streets across Britain.
The Mobile Macmillan Cancer
Information Centre (MMCIC) will visit 47 town and city centre locations to offer
advice and support to the public on any aspect of cancer.

Trained information specialists offer face-to-face support, and can guide visitors
through the broad range of information available on the disease. The service is 
free, confidential and offered on an informal drop-in basis between 10am and 4pm.

 

 

Alliance Unichem will promote the service through its network of 954 pharmacies 
and 11 wholesale branches across the country. Last year the mobile centre helped
around 4,500 people countrywide.

 

 

There are curently 1.2 million people living with cancer in the UK, Macmillan Cancer
Support hopes to increase public understanding of a disease which will affect one
in three people through the provision of services such as the MMCIC.
