Support for employers

Welcome to our cancer support page for employers. We understand that a cancer diagnosis can be a challenging time for both the individual and their loved ones. As an employer, it's important to support your employees through this difficult time and provide them with the necessary resources to cope with the challenges they may face.

By accessing these resources, employers can provide valuable support to their employees who are affected by cancer. It's important to remember that every individual's experience with cancer is unique, so it's important to be flexible and responsive to their individual needs.

At this challenging time, it's important to be understanding and compassionate towards your employees. By providing the right support and signposting to the relevant charities and support services, you can help your employees to feel valued and supported through their cancer journey.
