April Maggie's Cancer Care Centre

“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 being diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or following treatment, to 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.”

Maggie's Caring Centre in Cheltenham is a place to turn to for help with any of the problems, small or large, associated with cancer.

Under the one roof you can access help with information, benefits advice, psychological support both individually and in groups, courses such as Tai Chi and Creative Writing as well as stress reducing strategies.  You don't have to make an appointment or be referred, and everything we offer is free of charge. It is there for anybody who feels the need for help, which includes those who love and look after someone with cancer, who often feel as frightened and vulnerable as those who actually have the disease.

Due to advances in medical care, the number of people living with and beyond cancer is increasing, so the support available to them becomes ever more important. The Cheltenham Maggie's Centre is just minutes away from the oncology unit at Cheltenham General Hospital and was designed by Sir Richard McCormac. It is a beautiful building, sympathetic to the needs of individuals; plenty of light, beautiful oak and bright soft furnishings which all make for an uplifting and homely space.

The Centre serves the three counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire where 35,000 people live with cancer."

Many thanks for choosing to support Maggie's. If any of your congregation would like to come and see our beautiful centre in Cheltenham, please do let me know.
