4Total reach across all our <strong>services</strong> (HEADLINES)In 2011:<strong>Macmillan</strong> made 8.2 million interventions with people affected by cancerWe supported 4.9 million people affected by cancer in the UK through at least one <strong>of</strong> our<strong>services</strong> – an 11% increase on 2010o This 4.9 million includes:• 1.7 million people with a cancer diagnosis• 640,000 carers <strong>of</strong> people with cancer• 2.6 million other people affected by cancer (including family, friends,colleagues, and worried well)We secured a total <strong>of</strong> £210.6 million in benefits and grants for people affected by cancer<strong>The</strong>re are around 2 million people living with cancer in the UK (this is rising to around 4million by 2030), and so in 2011 we were reaching over three in four <strong>of</strong> the 2 millionpeople living with cancer through at least one <strong>of</strong> our <strong>services</strong>.If we also include our ‘force for change’ help - for example influencing free prescriptionsand influencing free hospital parking in many hospitals - we can say that we are reachingand improving the lives <strong>of</strong> everyone living with cancer in some way.However it’s important to remember that not everyone who has had cancer needs oursupport - for example people who were diagnosed with cancer many years ago who arenot experiencing late effects <strong>of</strong> cancer. So our next challenge will be to reach people inever more relevant and personalised ways, at the times that they really need us.Healthcare <strong>services</strong>All healthcare pr<strong>of</strong>essionalsNursesIn 2011, we reached 527,000 people through our all <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Macmillan</strong> healthcarepr<strong>of</strong>essionals (<strong>Macmillan</strong> Nurses, <strong>Macmillan</strong> AHPs and <strong>Macmillan</strong> source <strong>of</strong> supportDoctors combined).<strong>Macmillan</strong> Nurses help people living with cancer and their families receive essentialmedical, practical and emotional support.Questions about living with cancer?Call the <strong>Macmillan</strong> Support Line free on 0808 808 00 00 or visit macmillan.org.uk<strong>Macmillan</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Support, registered charity in England and Wales (261017), Scotland (SC039907) and the Isle <strong>of</strong> Man (604).
