About

Maggies provides free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their family and friends. They covered all the non-medical parts: practical advice about benefits, tying headscarves and eating well. Through them I met my cancer buddies and could talk each visit to other patients and relatives about their experiences. Maggie's also gave Dad a place to wait, drink coffee, read his book and talk to other people whilst I had each treatment, which was more valuable that I can explain. People with cancer, their family and friends need somewhere like Maggie's. Asking for donations in lieu of birthday presents is my way of saying thank you.
