£56 could help the welfare advisers on our Macmillan Support Line deal with a call or web enquiry, helping a person struggling to navigate the complex benefits system understand what they’re entitled to. They could provide vital support to someone who had to give up a job they really loved because they were no longer able to do it. Or they could help someone who’s struggling to pay the fares to and from hospital.
