What we do

MACS was formed over 12 years ago by Elaine Kay Brown, it started off as nothing more than a coffee morning at her house for
other people who had been diagnosed with cancer in the local area.
People diagnosed with cancer anywhere in the world face many challenges that may leave them feeling overwhelmed, afraid and
alone. If diagnosis or treatment takes place in another country this is an added difficulty to cope with ie; not being native can cause
added stresses and this is why we are working to ease these problems. These challenges can be overcome by meeting others – as
even to talk to the most supportive family members and friends is not always enough. Often, Support Groups can help people.
