Grants and other schemes Neuroendocrine Cancer UK, along with some of the other charities across the UK, can offer one-off grants to help people cope with the costs of cancer, and schemes such as the NHS Low Income Scheme might enable you to claim back travel expenses if you are on a low income. At NCUK, we offer a one-off grant, to provide financial support to neuroendocrine cancer patients (and, where required, an accompanying family member, clinical advocate or carer) for travel to expert clinical centres to access diagnosis-related scans / treatments. The application for our Compassionate Welfare Grant must be completed by a member of your specialist clinical team – the form can be completed here We truly hope that this will provide some financial assistance to those who need it. If you have a carer - or are a carer for someone else, staff at Carers UK can guide you through what’s available – as well as offering practical advice.
