Looking for out of hours help?

If you need to talk to someone when our Support Line is closed, you can:

  • speak to the Samaritans   for emotional support - call 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org  
  • call your GP to be directed to out-of-hours services in your area 
  • call 111 for medical help or advice from the NHS when it's not an emergency
  • call 999 for emergency services.

You can also visit our directory of support organisations  or read our information about out of hours help .

Our How we can help pages also include information on every aspect of living with or caring for someone who has a terminal illness. 

You can also connect with our online community   to get support from other people affected by terminal illness who understand what you’re going through.
