The Macmillan/Carlisle and District CAB 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 adviser is based in The Cumberland Infirmary at Carlisle, (near the radiotherapy and chemotherapy departments)
It is accessed on an appointment basis on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  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.
