The team at The Cove
Kathryn works alongside three Macmillan Support Officers, Kerenza, Leigh and Louisa, who are available to meet with you to discuss any problems or concerns that you may have and signpost you to relevant support services, such as Benefits Advice and Look Good Feel Better. We also have a team of fantastic, trained volunteers, some of whom have personal experience of living with cancer.
