Macmillan is investing £2.5 million towards the delivery of the Antrim Macmillan Cancer Support Centre.

We are raising funds for a Macmillan Cancer Support Centre at Antrim Hospital to enhance access to a wide range of local services and community support to help people manage their condition within the context of their own life and close to their home. In the unlikely event that the centre does not go ahead or if there is a surplus of funds, we will use the donations, not needed for the build, to provide much needed help and support to people living with cancer.

Please donate to the appeal or if you would like your own fundraising page to support the appeal, please contact Antrimappeal@macmillan.org.uk in the first instance.

Macmillan Cancer Support is acting as the page owner / fundraiser, and therefore sharing details with the appeal is also agreeing to share details with Macmillan.

The Northern Health and Social Care Trust (NHSCT) in Northern Ireland (NI) was identified as one of a number of absolute gaps by Macmillan Cancer Support in 2022 as having no dedicated information and support provision.

The NHSCT has on average 2555 patients diagnosed with cancer each year, this is greater than any other trust in NI.
