The Leukaemia Society (U.K.) is a charity that raises money devoted to the recruitment of volunteer bone marrow donors, research, education and patient care. The Society's range of services include the following:
- Donor recruitment clinics.
- Home and hospital visiting.
- Some translation services - this is a limited service depending on volunteer availability.
- Support Groups - most people find sharing their feelings can help. Being put in contact with individuals that have been through and understand how they are feeling allows them to do this.
- Telephone helpline offering support to the patient and the patient's families and friends.
- Advice line - people seek advice on various issues. One area where advice is always needed is claiming benefits. The society aim to help ensure that all individuals know of the benefits they are entitled to and how to claim them.
