The
Macmillan and Citizens Advice Bureau Partnership
The Partnership involves collaboration with all nine Citizens Advice
Bureau in Lanarkshire in a service managed by Airdrie Citizens Advice
Bureau. Its purpose is to introduce an advice service to cover the whole
of Lanarkshire, meeting the information needs of people affected by
cancer on issues such as benefits, debt, employment and housing.
Macmillan Cancer Relief
The research undertaken for Macmillan ' s review of it's corporate strategy
identified financial advice for people affected by cancer as an enormous
black hole into which a distressing number of cancer patients and their
families unfortunately slide. Providing schemes to bridge this gap is
a key part of what we aim to do in the next few years.

Citizens Advice Bureau
All Citizens Advice Bureau work "to ensure that individuals
do not suffer through lack of knowledge of their rights and responsibilities,
or of the services available to them, or through an inability to express
their need effectively." They also aim to "exercise
a responsible influence on the development of social policies and services
both locally and nationally."
