In certain circumstances, Leukaemia CARE can
provide discretionary assistance to patients and
carers in need. This can include help towards utility bills, supermarket vouchers which can be used for food, or petrol for travel to hospital or small necessary household items.
We also provide a signposting service with respect
to welfare rights and other charities and
organisations that may be able to offer additional assistance.
