A Maggie’s Centre is a place to turn to for any of the problems, small or large, associated with cancer.

Under one roof you can access help with information, benefits advice, psychological support, courses and stress reducing strategies. You don’t have to make an appointment or be referred, everything they offer is free of charge.

It is there for anyone who needs support. This includes those who love and look after someone with cancer, who often feel as frightened and vulnerable as those who are diagnosed.

Mum and I were together at home when we learned she had cancer. After looking at each other totally and utterly bewildered and terrified, I called the hospital back in a panic to say what do we do next, and to ask who we could talk to for help and support - there was nothing they could offer us until the appointment with the chest specialist days later.

Maggie's Centres and me would very much appreciate anything you can give, so that more people who need support and advice, in facing and fighting cancer, have someone to turn to for help.

Thank you very much,

Deb
