Carlisle & District Citizens Advice Bureau

The Macmillan/Carlisle and District Citizens Advice Bureau Advice Service is available for people who have been affected by cancer (patients, their carers and family members).   It provides advice and information on benefit, debt, housing and employment. It also provides information on other sources of financial help for people affected by cancer.  

The service is based at the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle. It is located near radiotherapy and chemotherapy departments. It is currently accessed on an appointment basis and may have to wait to be seen due to demand, appointments are available on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  The Adviser can visit the client on the ward/at home/at the CAB interview room at the Cumberland Infirmary.   

People affected by cancer or anyone working with people affected by cancer can make a referral to the service for assistance by phoning 01228 558769. Referrals forms are available on request. Please make referrals as early as possible – the sooner the clients are referred, the sooner they can benefit from the advice and information given.
