To celebrate 100 years of Rotary in Wales, the Rotary Club of Cardiff are raising funds to support the building of a new Maggie's Centre at Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff.

Today there are 120,000 people living with or after cancer in Wales and the numbers are steadily rising, with over 18,000 new diagnoses each year. Velindre Cancer Centre alone, sees around 5,000 new diagnoses a year with a further 50,000 new outpatient appointments from people living with or after cancer within the south Wales cancer network. The largest cancer centre in the country, it provides specialist cancer services to over 1.5 million people in Cardiff, Newport and beyond.

As the number of people living with cancer continues to rise, so the demand for support increases, putting pressure on limited NHS resources and highlighting the growing needs for additional cancer support across Wales. Maggie's South East Wales will be there for anyone and everyone affected by cancer, offering a programme of support based on evidence proven to strengthen physical and emotional well-being.
