Macmillan will be on hand to offer advice and support

Macmillan Cancer Support’s Mobile Information and Support Service will be visiting the area, with cancer information specialists on hand to answer any questions.

The team encourages anyone with worries relating to cancer to stop by.

The experts will also be providing specialist information about sun safety and skin cancer, although they will be unable to perform skin checks.
