No one should face myeloma alone.

That's why we're committed to making sure everyone affected by myeloma has access to the support, information and connections they need.

We work closely with Support Group Leaders across the UK and Ireland, providing resources, guidance and information to help ensure every member receives the best possible support.

There are currently 82 Support Groups listed on our website. Most are myeloma-specific, while several general haematology groups also welcome people living with myeloma.

Led by patients, family members, carers and healthcare professionals, these groups offer a welcoming space to share experiences, build friendships and connect with others who understand.

For many affected by cancer, the difficulty of finding suitable travel insurance can become a barrier to taking a holiday and spending quality time with loved ones.

We’ve partnered with Lighthouse Travel Insurance , to help make travel a possibility, even when a cancer diagnosis makes life feel uncertain.

If you have a cancer diagnosis, or have had cancer in the past, this can affect your travel insurance and how much you pay for cover.

Our partnership will connect you with a range of specialist insurance brands, so you can explore options and choose what's right for you.
