Macmillan Cancer Charity to Prioritise Welfare Support for LGBT and Ethnic Minorities
23rd March 2026
Macmillan Cancer Support will prioritise access to its welfare advice for gay, transgender and ethnic minority cancer patients, and those with existing health problems, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.
Under a new model, the charity’s benefits advisers would target ongoing financial and wellbeing support at groups it would deem most vulnerable, including LGBTQ+ people, ethnic minorities and those already unwell before their cancer diagnosis.
Staff will also be asked to prioritise those with caring responsibilities.
Apparently some animals are more equal than others.
