Serious illness support

How we can help


If you, a loved one or someone you care for has been diagnosed with a serious or terminal illness, we know how challenging this can be with big changes and uncertainty ahead.

At Rias, we’ll do whatever we can to support you through this tough time.

We understand that coming to terms with a terminal illness diagnosis can be an incredibly difficult time. But we want you to know you’re not alone, and we’re here to help.

For further support, there are many organisations that can help – see details of charities and organisations that can help.
