The Mustard Tree Macmillan Cancer Support Centre is available to anyone affected by cancer (at any stage of the illness). We offer a comfortable environment for patients, relatives and carers to share concerns, ask questions and access a range of support. Since 2015 we have been able to achieve and maintain The Macmillan Quality Environment Award.
The Mustard Tree is staffed by Macmillan professionals and trained volunteers, some of whom have had a personal experience with cancer. We are able to offer information about your illness, details of the support that is available and the opportunity to talk to someone about how you feel.
The Mustard Tree also runs Outreach services in Tavistock, Kingsbridge, Liskeard, and Ivybridge. Please contact us for times and dates.
