ABOUT MAGGIE'S
Maggie's provides free practical and emotional support for people with cancer and their families and friends, offering a programme of evidence-based support that has been shown to strengthen physical and emotional wellbeing.'Cancer hits you like a punch in the stomach. aaFew people hear anything much the doctor says after the word 'cancer'. Fear, compounded by ignorance and false knowledge, is a paralysing attach in its own right'
- Maggie Keswick Jencks, founder
Built in the grounds of NHS hospitals, our centres are designed by leading architects to be warm, Welcoming and full of light and open space. They are places to find practical advice about money worries and eating well; where qualified experts provide one-to-one emotional support; to meet other people or to simply sit quietly with a cup of tea
There are now 24 Centres across the UK and abroad, with two more due to open this year and a further seven in development. There are two million people living with cancer and that number is rising steadily. By 2020, 47% of the population will be touched by cancer, facing tough questions, exhausting treatment and difficult emotions ranging from loneliness to anxiety and grief. Maggie's supports as many of those people, and their families and friends, as we possibly can, and we want to be able to meet the growing demand.
Last year our Centres received over 281,000 visits but we want to grow this to 400,000 by 2022. We need your help to make this happen and the funds raised from our concert will go towards our four London Centres.
