The Dimbleby Benefits Service
Thanks to your generous support, Guy’s Cancer is able to offer the Dimbleby Benefits Service, which is a free, personalised financial support service for patients.
Supporting patients with financial advice
We’re the charity that helps fund Guy’s Cancer to provide the very best in personalised care. This means supporting patients and their families mentally and emotionally, as well as physically. The impact of cancer is deeply personal. Lives can be forever shaped by the series of moments that begin with a diagnosis. And money worries often add to feelings of fear and exhaustion. That’s why we help to fund the Dimbleby Benefits Service, a service which provides much needed welfare benefits advice for patients at Guy’s Cancer.
For every £1 of funding we get from Guy’s Cancer Charity, we’re able to secure an additional £20 per person in benefits for each cancer patient

Nazim, Senior Welfare Benefits Advisor, shared that his work gives patients one less thing to worry about and allows them to focus on getting better, rather than paying bills.
Together, we can can continue to fund initiatives like the Dimbleby Benefits Service, providing patients with personalised financial support.
