CALL offers care and support for people living with cancer, their carers and families in and around Greater Manchester. The original telephone helpline service has grown to include home visits as well as working closely with Macmillan nurses, district nurses and social services. Support is geared to meet individual needs and includes:

• Giving people the chance to talk through their concerns. Trained volunteers have time to listen and care.
• Working to identify and solve practical problems.
• Sitting with a loved one, so allowing carers time for themselves.
• Accompanying people on hospital appointments and treatment sessions.
• Providing information, including details of other local services.
• Arranging social activities, both for individuals and within groups.
• Group 'drop in' sessions.
• Transport.

Contact the number above for details of local telephone numbers in the Manchester, Salford, Stockport and Trafford area or for details of activities which can be attended at the Manchester base.
