CANCER patients face a bleak future in the face of changes being made to the benefits system, specialist welfare advisors in Leamington are warning.
Macmillan Cancer Support funds a Welfare Rights and Benefits Service at the Citizens Advice Bureau in Hamilton Terrace, where case workers Karen Jones and Jenny Harding aim to help cancer patients, their carers and those in palliative care deal with issues they may have to do with accessing funds, housing, dealing with employers and other welfare issues.

MOST of us wouldn’t know David Richardson if we bumped into him on the streets.
That’s the way he likes it. The man behind the camera, directing action others watch.
Many will be familiar with his work as a TV director. Emmerdale last year. Shameless back in 2009. Five years or so on Hollyoaks. Grange Hill. EastEnders. Brookside. And more.
Throw in The Celts for good measure and some short films and work with some of the biggest names in British cinema, and David’s on the roll call of honour when it comes to directors of clout and kudos.
So – with the greatest respect – what brings him to Claremont Community Centre, North Shore, on a bleak midwinter evening to help children with their film project?
