Emma is a leading disability, travel and lifestyle blogger and in her spare time she is a Euan's Guide Ambassador. Microvolunteering with Euan's Guide is a great way to help raise accessibility and create an online resource of accessible places across the world.
To me, Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries is a friendly, non-clinical environment, where people can come and ask about living with or beyond cancer.It is also where we can arrange for other support services to get things in place that may be helpful to people with a cancer diagnosis, their family, friends and their carers.
Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries to me means the offer of information, support, respect and compassion in a warm, friendly and confidential environment. It also offers a feeling of normality where people affected by cancer can pop in for a cup of tea and a chat (sometimes with some laughter and humour thrown in!).
