What is Maggie's?

Maggie's is about
empowering people to live with, through and beyond cancer by bringing
together professional help, communities of support and building design
to create exceptional centres for cancer care.


Maggie’s
Centres are for anyone affected by cancer. They are places where people
are welcome whenever they need us – from just being diagnosed, or
undergoing treatment, to post-treatment, recurrence, end of life or in
bereavement.

We also welcome family and friends, as they are
often deeply affected by cancer too. We know that those who love and
look after someone with cancer can feel just as frightened, vulnerable
and uncertain.

Our visitors tell us that the welcome they
receive at Maggie’s is what they appreciate the most. Just walking
through our doors puts them at ease. This is a key part of our
pioneering approach that integrates professional help with a community
of support in thoughtfully designed centres, a combination that is
proving highly effective in alleviating the emotional distress and
practical difficulties that cancer brings. Everything we provide is free
of charge, so visitors can feel welcome to access our support for as
long as they need it.
